The role of flavors
Processed foods such as curry, ramen noodle, soup, and seasonings, as well as snacks and other foods that contain salty flavorings, are generally classified as savory foods. In this category, the use of flavors enables improvement of deliciousness, correction of taste deterioration odors generated during manufacturing, and enhancement of product value. Plant-based foods have come under great attention in recent years. We are working to improve unfavorable flavors that can arise in the development of plant-based ingredients. We solve problems in varied types of savory products to deliver deliciousness to people's tables. Our savory application specialists support application development.
