They help round up and balance overall tastes in foods and act as an effective flavor modulator which reveals the authentic flavor in foods and creates a unique flavor. It works well in meat products, condiments, soups, and so on.

The taste of yeast extract is similar to vegetable, meat, or poultry stock. This is explained by the fact that these stocks contain the same proteins as yeast extract. Even more to the point, yeast extract contains 5% natural glutamate, which gives it a specific taste profile commonly known as “umami.” This same flavor profile can be found in tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and soy sauce.

Umami is considered the fifth flavor. Ingredients with an umami profile are believed to enhance the other four flavors: sweet, bitter, sour, and salty. Therefore, ingredients with this flavor, like yeast extract, can be added to dishes and food products to be more easily recognized the other four flavors. This makes the food taste richer and better!

• Soups,

• Sauces,

• Stock cubes,

• Savory snacks,

• Other snacks,

• prepared dishes,

• Sausages,

• And pretty much anything else you want to add a richer flavor too!
