Sensient Flavors & Extracts has unveiled BioSymphony, a portfolio of natural flavor solutions intended to simplify global formulation and enhance sensory performance through biotransformation. Developed using nature-derived processes, the platform addresses common formulation challenges such as ingredient masking, taste balance, and premium ingredient replacement.

BioSymphony is designed to deliver value across three core areas: premiumization, flavor expansion, and ingredient challenge mitigation. It aligns with global natural flavor regulations, enabling its use across regions without special labeling.

“We like to call it ‘complexification,’ Steve Morris, president of Sensient Flavors & Extracts, tells Food Ingredients First. “BioSymphony takes simple ingredients to the next level and enables you to do more with less.”

The BioSymphony platform emerged from Sensient’s broader innovation strategy, particularly its newly established natural flavor development platform. According to Suja Senan, PhD, senior innovation scientist at Sensient and the lead developer of BioSymphony, the concept was shaped directly by voice-of-customer feedback.

“We repeatedly heard three questions from customers: how can I make mass-produced products taste more homemade, how can I stretch the flavors in my library to add nuance and tonalities, and how can I reduce premium ingredients without compromising flavor impact,” she says.
