n

Definition: substitute
Antonyms: predecessor

A product category that included substances that impart a combination of functionality and/or flavor so that a specified material can be either partially or fully replaced. The typical reason or desire to replace the original product is usually due to legal, marketing, cost, availability, or some other driving force. Example: HVP replacers were developed in order to meet a U.S. labeling demand. The demand grew due to a number of factors including bad press from the discovery of potentially harmful by-products found in HVPs called monochloro- and dichloro-propanols as well as the bad press from reports of reactions called the Chinese Restaurant Syndrome. Both of these incidents brought pressure on the food industry. This demand to replace HVPs has resulted in the development of new HVP replacement systems. While developing these products, one must consider both the functional characteristics as well as the organoleptic attributes of the product to be replaced. HVP replacement represents some interesting challenges. Of the attributes that one would consider include the proper salt content, the proper mouthfeel, the right taste and enhancement profile, and the right trace aroma profile. All of these characters must be in proper balance for the replacement product to be useful as an across-the-board system. One alternative approach is to replace a specific ingredient, like a certain type of HVP from a certain company. In this regard, the challenge is easier, but the rewards would be less. Raw material cost issues are obviously an important consideration.
