SANTEandCTC are natural taste enhancing solutions derived from Lycored’s very own tomatoes and are formulated to bring out their natural umami and kokumi characteristics for a well-rounded taste experience allowing for the reduction of salt and added sugar.
SANTE helps put crust and sauce on a reduced salt and sugar diet.
We wanted to evaluate how the addition of SANTE, with the reduction of salt and added sugar, stacked up in the pizza crust and sauce nutritionals without affecting the taste of a typical formulation for each.
There are many reasons to create a variety of delicious dishes like pizza with our taste enhancing solutions. Here are just a few:
Clean, consumer friendly labeling
Naturally sourced real food ingredients that are Vegan, Kosher, Halal, Allergen-free, Non-GMO, declared as ‘tomato concentrate’, ‘Natural tomato flavor’ and other options per regional guidelines.
Amplifies umami, kokumi and natural tomato taste
Our scientists isolated both umami and kokumi characteristics, giving our taste enhancers the unique ability to naturally create richness and depth with natural tomato notes in pizza components.
Natural ingredients for salt and sugar reduction
SANTE and CTC provide the opportunity to reduce or remove added sugars from pizza components while the umami effect of SANTE enhances savory flavors that reduce the need for sodium.
ResilientRed A is just one of our cast of lycopene based superstable colors. All of our colors are naturally sourced, non-GMO, vegan, Kosher, Halal, pH independent, taste neutral and robust enough to withstand the rigors of typical food processes, temperature and light storage conditions.
How naturally sourced Lycopene extends pizza shelf life.
Lycored researchers and food scientists wanted to evaluate if adding their lycopene based colors to pizza sauce could improve color stability over the shelf life of a frozen pizza with and without mozzarella cheese. Conducted in real time and under controlled conditions, pizzas with and without mozzarella cheese underwent color analyses at defined test points (T0, T1, T3, T6, T9 & T12) over a potential frozen pizza shelf life (1 year).
Results show that with ResilientRed A, color change is significantly delayed by about six months and helps maintain the original visual appearance of pizza sauce over shelf life.
