Our active solutions to

of tomorrow’s nutrition
Aware of public health issues and keen to work alongside the food industry in the search for solutions, Metarom develops active solutions to meet the growing demand for healthier, more natural food products.
Flavors play an essential role in the food industry, offering a healthy and tasty alternative to enhance product quality. These flavors not only boost sweet perception without adding excessive sugar or fat, but also mask undesirable notes. Thanks to these natural ingredients, it is possible to improve the Nutri-Score of products while offering a rich, authentic taste experience.
Reduce sugar and fat
Finding ways to reduce sugar and fat without compromising flavor is a challenge food companies have to overcome; Metarom’s response has been to create natural solutions. These are in line with a global flavoring approach that takes into account the nature of the products and their nutritional objectives.
Two ranges of natural flavoring solutions have been designed to meet these nutritional objectives. They enable a product’s sugar content (Acti’boost Sweet) or fat content (Acti’boost Fat) to be reduced by 30-50%, without modifying the list of ingredients.
Developed for the bakery & pastry, dairy and beverage sectors, these natural flavors:
- reinforce the perception of fat or sugar,
- rebalance the flavor profile, and
- preserve the texture of the product.
In the context of the recent implementation of the Nutri-Score scales, these two solutions, with equivalent flavor signatures, enable a product to move from a D to a B score.
Our Acti’Boost range
Our flavorings and natural flavors in the Acti’Boost range are flavoring solutions that boost sweet or fatty perceptions,
for nutritional purposes.
With the Acti’Boost Sweet and Acti’Boost Fat families, Metarom supports your reformulation process by meeting your consumers’ taste expectations. Our Acti’Boost solutions are customized, high-performance flavoring solutions for each of your sugar- and fat-reduced finished product matrices

Suppress off-notes
Acti’mask is a range of food flavorings dedicated to the suppression of off-notes. It reduces the unpleasant notes that come from functional ingredients such as proteins. Applied to plant-based desserts, it attenuates the perception of specific cereal notes that are not appreciated by most consumers.
Our Acti’Mask range
The Acti’Mask family of solutions is made up of natural flavors designed to mask undesirable notes.
The enrichment of proteins (whether from peas, yeast, soy, etc.) with amino acids and other macro- and micronutrients or intense sweeteners is a source of off-notes. Acti’Mask flavoring solutions clean up the profile of your applications by reducing or cancelling out undesirable acidic, bitter, yeasty or medicinal notes…

A healthy, responsible choice
Using natural flavors in the manufacture of a food product is much more than just a trend: it’s a commitment to consumer health and the sustainability of our planet. Making this choice also means opting for a differentiation strategy that emphasizes authenticity and respect for the environment. This reinforces the reputation of brands as responsible players, concerned with the well-being of their customers. Integrating natural flavors into food formulations represents an approach that reconciles taste pleasure, health and environmental responsibility. It’s a winning choice for companies and consumers alike
