Umami Stock Concentrate from Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition
For Deep, Slow-Cooked Flavor in Scalable Liquid Formats
Elevating Umami Stock Concentrates
Standard high-dilution stocks are engineered for high-volume broth production. Unfortunately, this focus on quantity is the very reason they tend to lose two critical qualities:
- Impact: The initial punch of savory flavor
- Mouthfeel: The silky, lingering texture associated with slow-cooked gelatins and fats
Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition elevates umami stock concentrates with “AminoScience”, thus creating the gold-standard flavor profile that survives processing and dilution.
The Umami Difference: What Makes It Superior?
What makes umami stocks from Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition superior? Here’s how we’re able to cross that bridge from flat to flavorful
The Salty Peak
Typically, when manufacturers remove sodium, food tastes bland and boring. Instead, we use MSG to maintain that salty flavoring that gives stocks the “zing” consumers love.
Thermal Stability
To ensure packaged food safety, manufacturers heat it to very high temperatures to kill bacteria. Unfortunately, the process also tends to kill flavor. However, ingredients like our AJITIDEⓇ don’t break down and lose their flavor even when boiled in big industrial cookers.
Solubility
Some flavoring additives can give broths a muddy or gritty consistency because they don’t dissolve completely. We design our umami ingredients to be 100% soluble, producing broth that looks as good as it tastes.
Optimizing Costs
Real meat extracts are expensive and time-consuming to produce. At Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition, we use high-potency boosters instead of expensive ingredients, giving our stock a savory flavor that is more cost-effective than boiling pounds of beef for hours and hours.
