Sensient Flavors has introduced Smoothenol, a natural masking technology system that enhances palatability of beverages by masking undesirable off-notes and unwanted aftertaste that may occur due to the use of sweeteners such as the Rebaudioside A stevia extract (Reb A). Smoothenol works by modifying the consumer sensory perception and essentially eliminating bitter off-notes and astringency. For further information: www.sensient-tech.com
