Taste modulators are substances used to restore any change in taste caused by using alternative food ingredients, providing the desired taste perception to a product. Sweet, salt, and fat modulators are available to compensate for the changes in taste that occur because of the use of low-calorie sugar substitutes, low-sodium salts, and fat reducers, respectively. These substances mask and modulate the taste of the respective substitutes, ensuring that the primary tastes of un-modified sugar, salt, and fat are emulated, in the absence of their presence.
Though the primary role of taste modulators involves the quality of taste, they also play a role in modulating the texture and mouthfeel of the food & beverage products that they are used in. Even though these substances play a role in changing more features than just the taste of a food or beverage product, it is important to note that these substances are not the same as flavor modulators.
