From flavour to finished food
For producers working across flavours and food, from the flavour compound to the finished food and beverage. Visium brings AI to the whole vertically integrated R&D chain: discover the ingredient, formulate the product, and predict what consumers will choose.
How Nestlé uses sound-based machine analytics to prevent downtime
Flavour and food R&D is under mounting pressure
Regulatory burden
Submission and safety documentation grows with every market, every variation and every signal. Much of the work is writing, checking and reconciling documents against source data. Volume rises, and the quality expectation does not move.
Fragmented data
The evidence behind a single decision sits across study reports, safety databases, manufacturing records, quality systems and thousands of PDFs. Assembling it is slow, and confidence drops at every manual hand-off.
Review and rework cost
Every review cycle spends calendar time before it spends budget. When a document goes back for rework, the delay lands on filing dates, batch release and query response windows.
From slow, sequential R&D to a connected, predictive workflow
Explore
more of the flavour and ingredient space than manual research allows, in a fraction of the time.
Predict
taste, stability, shelf life, and consumer preference before committing bench and panel resources.
Comply
by building food-safety and regulatory screening into discovery and formulation from the start.
Connect
discovery, formulation, and consumer insight into one loop, so what you can make and what the market wants stay aligned.
Three connected value streams for flavour and food R&D
Each value stream works on its own and connects to the others, from compound to finished product to portfolio decision. The platform is shared across specialty chemicals; the data, constraints, and sensory targets are yours.
Ingredient Discovery
Find the molecule before you make it, with sensory character and compliance predicted up front.
In Flavours + Food: Discover new flavour compounds and natural-source ingredients, with taste, safety, and GRAS/EFSA screening predicted before the bench.
Formulation Development
Generate, optimise, and stress-test the formula inside real cost and regulatory limits.
In Flavours + Food: Design and reformulate food and beverage products, balancing taste, cost, clean-label claims, processing, and shelf life.
Consumer Insights
Read demand, predict liking, and turn market signal into briefs worth working on.
In Flavours + Food: Segment by taste preference, track clean-label and claim trends, and prioritise the customer briefs worth chasing.

Visium is configured to your data and your products, with your experts accountable for every decision.
Grounded in your proprietary data
Every workflow runs against your formulation history, supplier data, and sensory records.
Results reflect your products and your processes.
One connected R&D loop
Discovery, formulation, and consumer insight share one architecture.
What you can make and what the market wants stay aligned from the start.
Food safety & regulatory built in
GRAS, EFSA, and regional screening run alongside the work rather than as a downstream gate.
Your food-safety and regulatory experts stay in control of every call.
Deployed in your secure environment
Runs inside your cloud or a dedicated private tenant.
Proprietary IP never leaves your control. Meets ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II.
