Flavor Enhancers

Autolyzed Yeast Extract

Autolyzed yeast extract is derived from yeast cells that have been broken down.

Benzyl Alcohol

Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol naturally occurring in many fruits and teas, used as a flavoring and solvent.

Disodium Guanylate

Disodium guanylate is the sodium salt of guanylic acid, a naturally occurring nucleotide.

Disodium Inosinate

Disodium inosinate is the sodium salt of inosinic acid, a naturally occurring compound.

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein

Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) is made by breaking down plant proteins into amino acids, creating savory flavor compounds.

L-Glutamic Acid

L-Glutamic acid is a naturally occurring amino acid that provides umami taste, the basis for MSG.

Malic Acid

Malic acid is an organic dicarboxylic acid naturally found in apples and other fruits.

Monosodium Glutamate

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, an amino acid naturally found in tomatoes, cheese, and mushrooms.

Potassium Chloride

Potassium chloride is a mineral salt used as sodium replacement and potassium supplement.

Ribonucleotides

Ribonucleotides (IMP and GMP) are nucleotides that enhance umami taste, often used in combination with MSG.

Sesame Oil

Sesame oil is extracted from sesame seeds.

Smoke Flavor

Smoke flavor (liquid smoke) is made by condensing wood smoke.

Succinic Acid

Succinic acid is a dicarboxylic acid naturally occurring in sugarcane, beets, and as a fermentation product.

Vanillin

Vanillin is the primary flavor compound in vanilla.

Yeast Extract

Yeast extract is produced by breaking down yeast cells (usually Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and concentrating the soluble contents.
