Reduce ingredient volume

Are you using too many different ingredients? It may be a waste of capital and uses valuable inventory…and we can help you avoid it.

Optimise the number of ingredients necessary to make the perfect product through our unique Building Block approach to build flavour and harmonise the taste to perfection. Bottom line: Fewer products in stock means less cost.

Improve taste: Our ingredients don’t just replicate natural flavours and textures – they can improve them. Independent research found that meatballs made using Maxavor® were preferred to those using higher quantities of meat.

How do we do it? Our Building Block approach is unlike anything else in the industry. We build flavour through three specific stages: Basic Savoury Taste (which provides a foundation); Specific Savoury Taste (which provides a specific taste direction, such as beef or chicken) and Natural Taste Enhancement – which perfects the food and provides real culinary authenticity.

Using just a few products from different parts in the pyramid we can match a wide array of flavours. It’s a smart approach that reduces the variety of ingredients you need – which also means reduced working capital, recipe complexity and ultimately, costs!

Step 3 Natural taste enhancement
Give products the mouthfeel and impact they deserve by using Maxarome® high 5’nucleotide yeast extracts.

Step 2 Specific savoury taste
Give culinary creations a specific taste direction with good tasting, cost-effective reaction flavours - Maxavor®, Savorkey® and Plantex®

Step 1 Basic savoury taste
Build a savoury foundation when no specific taste direction is required with Gistex®, Expresa® and Plantex®.

And finally: You don't need nucleotides, MSG and other ‘e’ numbers to pack flavour into your products. Yeast has a history of safe use in food for over 5000 years. Our range of yeast extracts and natural flavours have an obvious benefit when it comes to labeling.
