Savor the Flavor with Ascentra®

ASCENTRA® Sodium-Reducing Flavor Enhancer is a clean label dairy powder that naturally amplifies the perception of salt and other savory nuances in a broad range of food systems as it lowers sodium content. By enhancing existing savory flavors, ASCENTRA® yields a richer, more rounded flavor than is available through traditional, all-salt formulas.
