Butter Buds® Pushes the Boundaries of Flavor Technology Showcasing Real Dairy Ingredients at IFT22

(July 11-13, 2022) Chicago, IL– Butter Buds^® Inc., a global leader in dairy and non-dairy concentrates, is helping IFT22 attendees push the boundaries of flavor technology with real dairy ingredients that offer clean label, organic and dairy alternative solutions ideal for today’s marketplace. IFT22 attendees are invited to visit booth #S1140 and sample several great-tasting demos created to showcase the latest innovations that help food manufacturers overcome formulation challenges with added benefits that include rich butter flavor, full-bodied mouthfeel and improved texture.

“Our team is excited to have an in-person opportunity to meet with IFT22 attendees sharing some of our new ideas and innovations,” said Michael Ivey, National Sales Director, Butter Buds Inc. “Our experts will be available at the show to discuss how our real dairy ingredients can help make food products more delicious, more appealing and more profitable with the clean and simple labels today’s consumers desire. From enhancing other flavors to providing a richer mouthfeel, Butter Buds offers formulation expertise, new ideas and ingredient solutions needed to help brands solve formulation challenges and stand out in a crowded marketplace.” Butter Buds is showcasing a variety of real dairy, non-dairy, organic and clean label ingredient innovations for IFT22 sampling, including:

• Better Cheddar Mac & Cheese
  This dish is cheesy and ultra-creamy. Mac & cheese is the universal comfort food—the cheesier, the better—but how do you give yours better cheddar flavor without creating formulation headaches or hiking costs? Butter Buds^® Cheese Buds 32X Cheddar, features cheddar cheese middle notes and savory butter base notes for a well-rounded cheddar flavor profile at a much lower—and more forgiving—usage rate than standard cheese powders, for unprecedented formulation flexibility.

• Beer and Cheese Soup
  This delicious soup features the top two food groups, along with robust flavor and rich, velvety texture. Now your brand’s version can be even yummier than the rest, with Butter Buds^® new Dried Beer Extract Plus, which provides the great taste of beer in an easy-to-use powdered form. It features upfront malt notes and adds brown middle and end notes to baked goods, seasonings and sauces, or confections. Dried Beer Extract Plus can be used under the flavor threshold to mimic umami, yeast extract or hydrolyzed vegetable protein flavor characteristics. Butter Buds real dairy ingredients add rich flavor and full-bodied mouthfeel with better texture, while masking off-flavors, rounding out any harsh notes and improving the nutritional profile of a variety of food applications. Butter Buds products offer unique flavor profiles and functionality for delicious, healthy, ingenious ingredients that help deliver consumer-pleasing finished products. And because Butter Buds products are made with real butterfat, they provide 80 times the flavor and strength of real butter, which translates to better flavor and cost optimization through low usage rates.
