Case Studies

See how our partnerships and innovative ingredient solutions have helped clients overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

Extending Mold-Free Shelf Life in Packaged Muffins

Client: Volt Beverages

The Challenge

Goodly Bakes was experiencing significant flavor loss during the high-temperature baking process of their sponge cakes, resulting in a flat taste profile

The Solution

We introduced our “Butter vanilla” flavor from our Liquid Flavours range. Formulated specifically for high-heat applications, it retained its rich, creamy, and buttery notes even after baking.

THE RESULTS

Developing a Zero-Sugar Energy Drink

Client: Volt Beverages

The Challenge

Volt Beverages wanted to launch a competitive energy drink but struggled to replicate the distinctive taste profile of the market leader (Red Bull) using generic mixed fruit flavors.

The Solution

Piffany’s technical team provided our specific “Red bull energy drink” flavor from our Clear Flavours range. This single-solution flavor captured the exact aromatic notes and tartness required.

THE RESULTS

Optimizing Seasoning Adhesion on Potato Chips

Client: CrunchTime Snacks

The Challenge

CrunchTime Snacks needed a robust savory profile for a new line of chips but found their current “Cheese” seasoning lacked depth and impact

The Solution

We utilized our “Cheese” and “Onion powder” from our Powdered Flavours catalogue. The combination provided an immediate savory impact with a lingering authentic cheese note.

THE RESULTS

Vibrant Blueberry Hard Candy

Client: Sweet Delights Inc

The Challenge

Sweet Delights aimed to create a signature “Blueberry” hard candy. Previous attempts resulted in a cooked jam taste rather than a fresh fruit profile

The Solution

We sampled our “Blueberry” flavor from the Liquid Flavours range. It offered a bright, fresh, and slightly tart note that cut through the high sugar base of the hard candy.

THE RESULTS

Authentic Fruit Profiles for Artisanal Kombucha

Client: Vitality Brews

The Challenge

Vitality Brews struggled to maintain consistent fruit flavor notes throughout the fermentation process, resulting in batch-to-batch variation and loss of top notes.

The Solution

We implemented our “Ginger strawberry” natural flavor from the Clear Flavours collection. This heat-stable and acid-resistant formulation ensured the bright, spicy-sweet profile remained intact post-fermentation.

THE RESULTS

Creating a Shelf-Stable, Natural Orange Juice Flavor

Client: Sunburst Juices

The Challenge

Sunburst Juices was struggling with their 100% natural orange juice flavor turning bitter and losing its fresh aroma after pasteurization and during its shelf life.

The Solution

Piffany’s beverage lab provided a custom-encapsulated natural orange flavor. This technology protected the delicate top-notes during heat treatment and released them upon consumption. We also incorporated a natural citrus extract to act as an antioxidant, preventing flavor degradation over time.

THE RESULTS

Balancing Flavor in a Tart Kombucha Base

Client: Zen Ferments

The Challenge

Zen Ferments wanted to launch a new Ginger-Lemon kombucha, but their natural extracts were creating a harsh, overly acidic flavor profile when combined with the naturally tart fermented tea base.

The Solution

We developed a water-soluble ginger-lemon flavor system that was specifically pH-balanced for fermented beverages. It included natural masking agents to round out the sharp acidic notes and a specialized ginger extract that provided warmth without excessive spiciness.

THE RESULTS

Creating an Indulgent Vanilla Yoghurt

Client: DairyFresh Co.

The Challenge

DairyFresh’s new line of drinking yogurts was suffering from syneresis (whey separation), creating an unappealing watery layer on top within a week of production.

The Solution

Our team recommended the “Vanilla yoghurt” flavor. This variant is designed to enhance the natural fermented notes of the yogurt while adding a smooth, sweet, creamy vanilla background.
