An Inside Look at a New Flavor Company

November 14, 2018 By Sensapure

An Inside Look at a New Flavor Company

“I knew that we would have people come, I just didn’t expect this crowd,” one of our Flavor Chemists, Mariano Gascon said as he looked around the room. “It’s amazing.” We had a great time partnering with Dyad Labs for our open house to highlight our new flavor company a few weeks ago. It rewarding for the whole team to see all of the hard work that went into building the new, renovated space. We filled the space with customers, potential customers and friends and families. We ate great food, gave tours of the new space, and told over 300 people what we’re passionate about creating.

Protein Taste Tests

Some of the highlights from the open house include the Dyad “Guess That Protein” activity. We had our visitors taste different types of protein like whey or soy. Then they had to attempt to identify which was which. We also had the “Sensapure Soda Bar.” Our flavor chemists created the perfect drink flavors for a self-mixing experiment. Last but not least, we had our Street Taco station from our favorite stand, El Paisa Grill. “It was all that we had planned it to be,” our founder and CEO, Jeff Reynolds said.

The new space represents a year of hard work, contracting, designing and coordinating to get it up and running. “It has been a long project,” said Reynolds “sometimes we thought it would never end.” Reynolds says now that the project is complete, they’re thrilled with the result and what they’ve accomplished since launching.

Our Building’s Purpose

The bright, transparent, new space is impressive. However, Reynolds’ intention for the building is about more than an upbeat and inspiring environment for the team. “We really wanted to build a customer experience here where our customers and potential customers can come and we can help them as a technology partner.”

This day wasn’t possible without those who attended, met our team and heard what we’re building together with customers. This new space will create opportunities to do what we love most, the art of creating flavors. We can’t wait to operate in this new space as we collaborate with our customers to bring their product bases to life with our flavors through the unique Sensapure development process.

Thank you to all of those who came and have helped us along the way to reach our goals. If you missed out, check out this short video we put together to remember some of highlights of the day.

Supply Side West 2018: Flavor Trends Take-aways

Supply Side West 2018: Flavor Trends Take-aways

We worked with customers on their flavor systems while we learned from key industry experts. We toured the floor and got an inside look at upcoming flavor trends and patterns in the industry. Here are a few things we took away from Supply Side West 2018.

What’s New in Flavor Trends?

Pop Culture Co-branding / Nostalgia

Last year we saw flavor trends of Nostalgia. There was lots of co-branding through old-time favorites like candy flavors, breakfast cereals, and childhood memories like campfire s’mores. This year, nostalgia and co-branding prevailed with new twists on “look-alike” flavors and licensed co-branding deals. We saw flavors that remind us of our childhood, or confirm that we’ve never grown up. After many years of moms reminding us to drink leftover cereal milk, we’re seeing cereal flavored protein products.

Cross Cultural Blends

Tropical and exotic fruits have long been used to “spice up” product lines. And the blending of two different flavors to create a unique taste is also a staple of product development. So it was probably inevitable that these two flavor trends would ultimately connect. This “cross-cultural” blending can be seen in several examples such as “Dragonfruit White Tea” and “Limoncello Lychee.” Add into the equation any of the new international ingredient trends such as kombucha, matcha, açaí, et al. You can see the myriad of possibilities with cross cultural flavor experiences. Industry leaders think about ways these new trendy ingredients pair with interesting flavor systems to create unique customer experiences.

The Hemp Revolution

While the laws regarding cannabis are changing in states across the country, the unavoidable takeaway is asking what this means for the flavor industry as the core ingredients (CBD and THC) present new and unique challenges for an entire health category that has never existed before in the supplemental space. Walking around the show, it was impossible to not see the signs and banners advertising CBD and THC offerings. Add to that the hemp extracts workshops, suppliers, as well as data presented by Natural Products Insider estimating CBD and Hemp rising dramatically by 2022 calling it “The Hemp Revolution,” explaining that because the data is still being collected, it’s probably a far bigger market than we realize.

We had such a great experience at Supply Side West, 2018 and we are looking forward to utilizing the knowledge we gained to help our clients achieve their goals in all things flavors.

We wanted to share some of the exciting images from the new Sensapure Flavors building in Salt Lake City. The entrance and building signs are up and ready to move-in, the walls are painted, the carpet is getting installed, and we can see some of the amazing architectural elements beginning to get installed. Can’t wait to move-in and show off our new space to our clients, partners and friends at our Open house later this Summer. Stay Tuned!
