Abstract
Flavors and ingredients will take on starring roles in 2007 as consumers
increasingly demand bigger, bolder tastes; foods that are healthy; and
ingredients that are natural or sustainable. This year, quality as well as
comfort and convenience will rule. Ethnic flavors will expand and grow, and
organic foods will continue to gain traction. Consumers are increasingly
sophisticated and want more upscale flavors and ingredients. At the same time,
though, there is a real move toward comfort and classic foods. Following are
just some of the exciting, challenging and somewhat contradictory trends that
will affect flavors and ingredients in 2007.
Packaged Facts' new report, Food Flavors and Ingredients Outlook 2007, uses
key industry research, along with interviews with leading food experts and
culinary professionals, to highlight how today' s emerging flavors and
ingredients will affect tomorrow' s food preferences at home, on the go, and in

And, as part of an ongoing feature of this series, the report looks back at
the trends we predicted would make it big in 2006, compare that to what
happened, and how this will influence the food industry in 2007.
