Full Flavor Potential of Real Butter
Butter Buds Inc. releases the full potential of real butter, cheese and other fats to create flavorful concentrated dairy and non-dairy ingredients. To create Butter Buds® dairy flavor concentrates and dairy alternative concentrated flavors, we combine our unique enzyme modification process and encapsulation technologies. The results provide a more satisfying eating experience and better nutritional profile at a lower total ingredient cost. Choose from shelf-stable powders and easy-to-use pastes. Butter Buds® dairy alternative concentrates provide the same features and benefits of our dairy ingredients without the allergen.
Key Benefits
Ingredient Cost Savings
Because Butter Buds® are so highly concentrated, they are typically used at extremely low application levels (usually <1.0%). This reduces total ingredient cost without sacrificing quality or label appeal.
Reduce Fat
The extremely low application levels recommended for Butter Buds® products result in the contribution of less than 0.1% fat in finished products. With Butter Buds®, low-fat products can be formulated to retain the flavor and eating pleasure of a full-fat product.
Richer Mouth Feel
The rich flavor of Butter Buds® fools the palate into perceiving a richer, fuller, more complex mouthfeel than is otherwise available in low-fat formulations.
Enhance Other Flavors
Butter Buds® products enhance other food flavors such as chocolate and vanilla in sweet products and garlic in savory offerings.
Mask Off-Flavors
Off-notes present challenges in many food systems. Even at low application levels, Butter Buds® can effectively mask undesirable off-flavors, such as those found in plant-based proteins or vitamin dense goods.
Round Out Harsh Notes
Butter Buds® concentrated flavors round out harsh notes from pepper and other spices without changing the desired flavor profile.
Stable Pricing
The prices of dairy commodities can fluctuate wildly, making it a real challenge to control costs. Butter Buds® prices have proven to be very stable, helping to regulate costs and margins.
