“Greatness lies in simplicity, and freshness blooms in subtlety.”For millennia, humanity has pursued the essence of “umami”—the savory fifth taste that elevates food from nourishment to art. From ancient bone broths to modern culinary innovations, the quest for depth, richness, and balance in flavor has never ceased. Today, Angel Taste Solution redefines this journey with its full range of Yeast Extract Portfolio, a groundbreaking solution for the health-conscious era.
The Science of Umami: A Brief History
Long before umami was recognized as a basic taste, its allure captivated palates worldwide. In the early 20th century, scientists like Kikunae Ikeda (who discovered monosodium glutamate in seaweed) and Akira Kuninaka (who identified inosinate in bonito flakes) unlocked the molecular secrets of umami: a symphony of amino acids, nucleotides, and flavor peptides working in harmony. Today, Angel Yeast builds on this legacy, harnessing decades of biotechnological expertise to craft natural, health-forward umami solutions.
Common Umami Substances
Umami, alongside sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, signals protein-rich nutrition. Key umami compounds include:
● Amino Acids: Glutamate (e.g., MSG) from seaweed, yeast, and mushrooms.
● Nucleotides: Inosinate (fish, meat) and guanylate (yeast, shiitake).
● Flavor Peptides: Abundant in yeast extract, broth, and fermented foods.
● Organic Acids: Succinic acid in shellfish and yeast.
Modern consumers demand clean-label, low-sodium, and layered umami—a challenge traditional MSG or nucleotide blends struggle to meet.
Angel Yeast Extract: Nature’s Umami Treasure Chest
YE (Yeast Extract), derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae via enzymatic hydrolysis, is a powerhouse of natural umami. Angel’s Umami product offers four signature flavor modules, each tailored to elevate culinary experiences:
● Direct Impact Umami: Intense, immediate burst of savory richness.
● Full-Bodied Umami: Balanced, rounded depth for multidimensional flavor.
● Lingering Umami: Sustained savory notes that enhance meaty and brothy profiles.
● Harmonized Umami: Complex, lingering umami taste for premium taste retention.
Innovation Spotlight: Angel's Angeotide (rich in flavor peptides) boosts meaty richness while enabling 20% sodium reduction—a breakthrough for health-focused reformulation.
