In today’s increasingly competitive food and beverage industry, flavor development isn’t just about crafting a profile that sounds good on paper or in the lab. The real challenge begins when that flavor is applied to a real product. This is where Falmont Flavors’s approach offers a distinct advantage over many other companies.
Most flavor providers stop at the flavor development stage. They create a formula that, in theory, meets the brief and tastes good—then hand it over to the client to test and apply on their own. However, for F&B companies operating in beverage, bakery, dairy, or snack segments, this often becomes a bottleneck in product development. Why? Because every product has a unique structure and matrix, which will affect how the flavor performs in the real world.
Falmont doesn’t stop at flavor creation—we act as a technical partner that supports clients through the entire process of applying flavors to the final product. This approach ensures that the flavors developed are not only exciting in concept but also optimized, consistent, and stable all the way through to distribution.
What Is Product Application?
Product Application is a service designed to test and refine how a flavor performs directly within the client’s final product. This process is carried out either at Falmont’s application lab or at the client’s facility and is intended to ensure that the flavors live up to expectations under real-world conditions—whether in mass production, during shelf life, or at the moment of consumption.
During this process, the application team takes into account the specific characteristics of the product. Every factor affects how the flavor emerges, spreads, and lingers on the palate.
Why Is Product Application So Important?
Flavor doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Once it is added to a beverage, bakery dough, dairy product, or fried snack, it undergoes various changes due to chemical interactions and production processes.
For instance, a flavor that tastes strong and complex in the lab may turn flat after going through pasteurization in a dairy drink. Or a vanilla note that’s perfect in small batches may disappear entirely when baked in a high-temperature industrial oven. Fermentation can also introduce new compounds that significantly alter the final taste.
Through the product application service, Falmont helps brands anticipate all these changes. We test flavor stability against temperature, time, pressure, and other production factors. The result is a flavor that not only tastes great at first but also stands the test of time and remains consistent from batch to batch.
Direct Benefits for F&B Brands
This approach offers several strategic and practical advantages for F&B companies:
Accelerates Time-to-Market
With support from Falmont’s application team, the time from formulation to market-ready product can be significantly shortened. F&B companies don’t have to go through endless internal trial and error.
Reduces Risk and Cost
A failed trial at industrial scale can lead to wasted raw materials and lost time. With precise product application, F&B companies can minimize such failures from the outset.
Delivers Flavor Consistency at Production Scale
Falmont ensures that the flavors developed doesn’t change when transferred from the lab to the production line. This is critical for maintaining brand quality in the eyes of consumers.
True-to-Concept from Start to Finish
The flavor concept that a company creates to represent its brand or product story can be fully realized—without losing its essence during formulation and production.
