With increasing consumer demand for diet products, ready meals, functional foods and new flavour experiences, the functionality of these ingredients is particularly important. Modifying flavour in food provides food professionals with a comprehensive overview of developments in this area. Chapters review advances in technology for the creation and manufacture of flavourings and techniques for flavour modification, from developments in the production and use of established food ingredients such as sweeteners and masking agents, to the application of new ingredients such as bitter blockers.
