Discovering the super tasters among us   In a fascinating internal study led by Konstantinos Fotiadis, our R&D Sensory Scientist, we found that around 25% of our team are super tasters, mirroring the general population’s percentage. Super tasters have an extraordinarily sensitive sense of taste, often due to a higher density of taste buds, especially those sensitive to bitter compounds - this heightened sensitivity can significantly influence their food preferences and perceptions.   Having a proportion of super tasters in our team is invaluable for our product development. They offer critical insights into how different flavours are perceived by this unique group. This knowledge helps us create more balanced and universally appealing products, catering not only to super tasters but to all our customers with diverse taste profiles.   #FoodScience #SuperTasters #ProductInnovation

Embracing sensory adaptation: Insights from Unismack’s Innovation Director   At Unismack, we are constantly innovating in the world of snack production Alexandros Stratakis, our Innovation Director, shares his insights on the fascinating science of sensory adaptation, a cornerstone of our product development process.   “Understanding how our taste buds and olfactory senses are shaped by local cuisine and cultural influences from a young age is crucial,” says Alexandros Stratakis. “This knowledge allows us to tailor our flavours to resonate with local taste profiles around the globe.”   For instance, when developing snacks for the Asian market, Unismack focuses on umami and subtle flavours, reflecting the region’s rich culinary heritage. In contrast, products for the American market feature a broader spectrum of bold and diverse flavours, catering to a palate accustomed to a variety of taste experiences.   “This method isn’t just about creating appealing snacks,” Alexandros explains. “It’s a reflection of our commitment to cultural sensitivity and scientific understanding in food production. It’s how we ensure that each product we develop respects and celebrates the unique taste preferences of different cultures.”   Unismack’s approach has proven successful, with our products now being exported to over 20 countries worldwide. This underscores our dedication to creating universally appealing products while honouring the diverse culinary traditions that shape our world.   #ProductDevelopment #SensoryScience #GlobalFlavours
