Beef Flavor Solutions
Capturing the Essence of Beef
Beef is one of the top flavor tonalities in the savory category. At Takasago, we understand that beef, a culinary favorite, has a distinctive and irresistible appeal to many consumers. Our commitment to capturing the true essence of beef has led us to create a diverse range of beef flavor solutions that cater to the distinct needs of the processed food industry.
A Flavor in High Demand
Just as our Flavor TrendScape Study revealed the undeniable popularity of chicken flavor, beef is also one of the most beloved savory flavors, consistently ranking high among consumers and even surpassing other popular flavors like fish and butter.
When asking global consumers from 26 countries in our Flavor TrendScape Study, many connected the taste of beef with positive emotions such as “energizing” and “happiness”.
Authenticity at Its Core
Recreating authentic beef tonalities that satisfy all is a passion that drives our Global Savory R&D teams.
We've dedicated years to developing various flavorful and complex beef profiles suitable for a wide range of products. For example, the marbled fatty profile is key for wagyu beef, whereas a meaty and juicy profile is essential for Angus beef. We also explore many local beef dishes, as we believe this time-consuming approach allows us to deliver authentic flavor profiles and solutions to global food markets. These studies pave the way for us to offer market-relevant beef flavor solutions.
A Global Flavor Journey
The insights and technology we acquire from diverse regions are globally shared and harnessed to create our authentic flavors. This allows us to develop new beef flavor profiles and deliver them to our valued customers worldwide.
