CJ BIO Showcases TasteNrich Taste Lab for Sodium Reduction, Clean Label, and Taste Design Solutions at IFT FIRST 2026

CJ BIO participated in IFT FIRST 2026, taking place July 13–15, 2026, at McCormick Place in Chicago. At Booth #1117, CJ BIO introduced the TasteNrich Taste Lab, an application-focused tasting experience designed to help food and beverage developers address formulation challenges in sodium reduction, clean label development, fat and dairy reduction, plant protein masking, and savory flavor enhancement. Presented under the concept 'From Lab to Applications,' the TasteNrich Taste Lab featured real food and beverage demos that show how CJ BIO's natural taste solution portfolio can support better-tasting reformulated products while helping developers respond to evolving consumer expectations, regulatory pressure, and product development needs. TasteNrich is CJ BIO's natural taste solution portfolio for food and beverage applications. It is designed to help developers improve taste quality, enhance savory flavor, support clean label positioning, and address formulation challenges caused by sodium reduction, fat reduction, dairy reduction, plant protein use, and ingredient replacement. At IFT FIRST 2026, CJ BIO demonstrated how TasteNrich works in real applications through the TasteNrich Taste Lab. Each demo is designed to show how TasteNrich can help developers move beyond simple ingredient reduction and focus instead on better taste design, including salt perception, umami, mouthfeel, masking, flavor balance, and overall eating quality. Visitors can experience the following TasteNrich application demos: Pasta Salad with Italian Dressing — A sodium reduction demo showing how reduced-sodium formulations can maintain salt perception, umami, and flavor balance for a satisfying taste profile. Matcha Latte — A fat reduction demo designed to demonstrate fuller mouthfeel, balanced taste, and overall satisfaction in reduced-fat applications. Cheese Ramen — A dairy and cheese reduction demo showing how TasteNrich can support richer taste perception when cheese or dairy ingredients are reduced. Pea Protein Cracker — A plant protein masking demo focused on managing beany, grassy, or earthy off-notes commonly found in plant-based formulations. Cheddar Jalapeño Flavored Mayo — A clean label and flavor enhancement demo showing how TasteNrich can support balanced savory flavor, brighter top notes, and an improved overall eating experience. The TasteNrich Taste Lab is designed for food scientists, product developers, R&D teams, innovation teams, flavorists, marketers, and brand teams working on sodium reduction, clean label taste solutions, fat and dairy reduction, plant protein masking, savory flavor design, or application-specific formulation challenges. At the CJ BIO booth, visitors will be invited to taste expert-developed culinary demos and explore how CJ BIO's application-driven solutions can support real formulation challenges. CJ BIO's experts will also be available to discuss customer product needs, technical challenges, and potential collaboration opportunities. CJ BIO will be located at Booth #1117 at IFT FIRST 2026 in Chicago.
