Description

ClearIQ™ flavor is a natural, clean-label flavor modifier that helps to neutralize challenging off-notes, enhance flavor profiles, and improve mouthfeel, enabling better-tasting food and beverages—all with the magic of fungi. Created via mushroom mycelial fermentation, this unique, multifunctional solution can transform the taste experience of products without imparting any flavor or color of its own. ClearIQ™ flavor works by harmonizing flavor profiles and reducing the perception of bitter, metallic, sour, astringent, and other undesirable tastes, helping to maximize consumer satisfaction.

Not sure which ClearIQ™ grade fits your product? A500 suits broad off-note reduction across a wide range of formulations. For concentrated, low-flavor systems such as functional beverages and supplement drinks, see ClearIQ™ C100. To test both side by side, along with Zukora™ Honey Truffle Sweet Protein for sugar reduction, start with the Myco Flavor Enhancer & Sugar Sampler Bundle.
How to use

ClearIQ™ Specialty Flavor A500 is suited for larger formulations. A500 should be bench tested at a range of inclusions rates to determine the optimal dosage. A500 can be introduced at any point during formulation, but is recommended to be mixed with similar dry ingredients if possible.

MycoTechnology ClearIQ™ A500 FAQs

What is ClearIQ™ A500 used for?

A500 is a broad-range flavor modifier from MycoTechnology’s ClearIQ™ line, distributed by KND Labs. It reduces the perception of bitter, metallic, sour and astringent notes across a wide range of products, including supplements, beverages, baked goods, snacks, and dairy and meat analogs.
How does A500 reduce off-notes without adding flavor?

A500 is made through mushroom mycelial fermentation and has no significant flavor, odor or color of its own. It changes how off-notes are perceived rather than covering them with another flavor.
When should I choose A500 over C100?

Choose A500 when a formula has several off-notes or a broad, complex matrix. Choose ClearIQ™ C100 when one specific off-note needs correcting in a concentrated, low-flavor system.
How much A500 should I use?

Start at 0.01% of the finished product and bench test across a range of inclusion rates. Add it with the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly before hydrating.
What sizes are available for A500?

A500 comes as a 50 g sample, 1 kg, 5 kg and 11.4 kg (25 lb). To test it alongside C100 and Zukora™, try the Myco Flavor Enhancer & Sugar Sampler Bundle. For bulk or custom orders, email sales@kndlabs.com.
