'Meeting' and Exceeding Flavor Expectations

摘要

For superior eating experiences with marinated meats, one starts with the building blocks of moisture, texture, color and a balance between sweet and savory. In addition, the overall flavor profile must be identified, which includes defining flavors, adding herbs and spices as appropriate and adding enhancers or top notes. Because people eat with their eyes, dry rubs, glazes and topical pieces are very important for appearance as well, said Eric Rubendall, technical services man- ager, Spicetec Flavors & Seasonings-Con Agra Foods, during a presentation titled, "Flavor from the Inside Out," during Prepared Foods' 2010 R&D Applications Seminar-East.
