Smoothies have become a modern beverage icon offering a rich, indulgent mouthfeel, fresh fruit character, and nutritional appeal in one sip. Today’s consumers expect more than flavor; they seek authenticity, freshness, and health-driven innovation. dsm-firmenich supports manufacturers with a comprehensive offering of natural and nature-identical flavors, plant-based colors, and advanced functional technologies tailored to smoothie applications.
dsm-firmenich flavor portfolio available in both liquid and powder formats captures the full sensory depth of real fruits. From popular profiles like strawberry, banana, mango, and pineapple to more sophisticated combinations featuring tropical notes with botanical or tangy accents, our flavor systems are optimized to complement the thick, pulpy matrix of smoothie bases.
In terms of visual appeal, we provide natural color solutions derived from plants that retain their brightness and stability in the acidic, dense environments typical of smoothies. These include vibrant yellows, reds, oranges, and pinks delivering a visually attractive, clean-label product.
To address the growing demand for low-sugar products, we offer sugar reduction technologies that lower sugar content without compromising on taste or mouthfeel. By integrating natural sweeteners, masking agents, and mouthfeel enhancers, we ensure a smooth, satisfying sensory experience while helping you meet clean-label and nutritional goals.
Moreover, our FreshSlice® technology elevates the freshness perception of fruit by enabling controlled release of flavor compounds during consumption. This innovation enhances the long-lasting fruity impression and boosts the overall taste dynamics all without the need for artificial additives.
