Celanese ‘Talks about Taste’ and Its Qorus™ Sweetener System at IFT® 14
Fri, June 20 2014
‘Consumers won’t compromise on taste’ says market research study
“Celanese conducted an extensive global market research study on the
‘attitudes of consumers’ toward low and no-calorie beverages – and one
thing was clear – they will not compromise on taste,” said
In response to these common consumer taste preferences, Celanese designed the Qorus sweetener system. “Qorus balances sweetness and flavor to enable the formulator to attain the ‘authentic’ taste of their brand,” said Katz. “Qorus significantly reduces the bitter aftertaste of traditional non-nutritive sweeteners, increases the sweetness perception, and results in shortening the lingering profile of the sweet aftertaste.”
Qorus may be used in a variety of low/no calorie beverages including carbonated beverages, non-carbonated drinks, flavored waters, energy drinks, juice-based drinks, cocktails and dairy products.
To showcase Qorus, Celanese will be offering tastings of a low calorie juice-based drink, a protein beverage and an energy drink during the show. Attendees are invited to take the Qorus challenge and determine which sample is full calorie and which is low calorie, and will then be entered into a daily drawing for gift cards.
Celanese will also be highlighting their Sunett® brand of acesulfame potassium (Ace-K) sweetener and their preservatives in the form of potassium sorbates and sorbic acid. “Celanese offers time-tested sweetener and preservative products that are manufactured at the highest-quality western standards to give our customers piece of mind,” said Katz.
Celanese will have technical, sales and marketing representatives at booth 1619 to sample Qorus and share the market research with interested attendees.
