Resolver® Technology: How Does it Work?
WILD Flavors, Inc. has developed Resolver® Technology for helping with the offnotes from functional ingredients. The WILD Resolver® is a natural flavor extract. Many times, flavors and masking ingredients are used to camouflage a variety of undesirable and unpleasant tastes caused by artificial sweeteners or functional ingredients.
The WILD Resolver® Technology overcomes undesirable taste components by selectively influencing the tongue's taste buds. To experience a taste sensation a molecule has to fit exactly onto a relevant receptor on the tongue. The WILD Resolver® blocks the receptor by attaching itself to the receptor but does not trigger the taste sensation. That principle is similar to "lock and key". In this case the taste receptor is acting as a lock. The fitting in of the key represents the molecule reception, while the opening of the lock is the taste sensation. The specialty of WILD Resolver® is that it does not allow the unlock, triggering of the taste experience. Therefore, undesirable and unpleasant tastes cannot be experienced.
