MaxaGourmet™

MaxaGourmet™ next generation solutions for clean label, savory taste enrichment

MaxaGourmet™ is a new range of next generation clean label taste ingredients — developed using foodstuffs that consumers are familiar with, such as herbs and vegetables — that naturally enrich premium quality savory foods by providing distinctive flavor notes and adding taste complexity. Inspired by popular cuisines and the flavors created through sautéing, simmering or slow cooking food, MaxaGourmet™ is available in three culinary taste directions — Continental, Mediterranean and Oriental. It helps to create great tasting soups, sauces, seasonings and plant-based meat alternatives that appeal to consumers. 

On-trend, the products in the MaxaGourmet™ range are all clean label solutions that will cater to the needs of savory food producers, flavor houses and seasoning producers, who are looking to tap into the rising consumer demand for more natural savory products with authentic, exciting taste profiles and short, easily recognizable ingredients lists.

The MaxaGourmet™ portfolio was designed by DSM’s taste application experts, using their culinary knowledge and expertise — in combination with DSM’s proprietary process technology — to create a range of balanced, homogeneous ingredients for use in a wide variety of savory food products that create a strong appeal for consumers worldwide.
