Flavor & Sweetener Additives

Flavor & Sweetener Additives
— RSBM ODF Taste Design Service

Flavor and sweetness are critical for oral dissolving films: if the taste is wrong, even the best functional formula will fail. At RSBM, Flavor & Sweetener Additives is a dedicated service where we design the complete sensory profile for your ODF and air pouch products.

1. Taste masking and flavor building
   We focus first on masking bitterness, astringency or metallic notes from actives such as caffeine, vitamins, amino acids, or herbal extracts. Based on your target market, we then build a clear flavor direction: mint, citrus, berry, tropical fruit, dessert-style, or pharmaceutical “clean” profiles. Each flavor is selected and adjusted specifically for thin-film matrices rather than copied from traditional tablets or syrups.

2. Flexible sweetener systems
   We design sweetener blends to match your regulatory and marketing needs:

• Sugar-free systems: stevia, sucralose, acesulfame-K, monk fruit and others

• Low-sugar or natural-positioned systems: erythritol, isomalt, xylitol, etc.

• Standard sugar options when appropriate: sucrose, glucose syrups, maltodextrin
  Our goal is to achieve a clean sweetness curve, without strong aftertaste or lingering bitterness, while keeping film stability and mouthfeel.

3. Optimized for ODF performance
   All flavor and sweetener additives are tested in real film formulations to ensure:

• Fast dissolution with no gritty residue

• Compatible viscosity and drying behavior

• Color stability and minimal interaction with active ingredients

• Consistent taste between lab samples and mass production

4. Brand-specific sensory signatures
   We can match an existing product you already sell (gummies, tablets, liquids) or create a new signature flavor profile exclusive to your brand. Different strengths, age groups, or pet vs. human products can share a functional formula but have differentiated flavor concepts.

With RSBM’s Flavor & Sweetener Additives service, you do not just get a film that works – you get a film that consumers actually enjoy taking, and are willing to use every day.
