Meaty notes
Create distinct meaty notes with Ohly's yeast-based ingredients.
Whether it's white or dark meat, in ready meals or plant-based meat alternatives, our expertly formulated yeast-based ingredients will bring out more meaty notes in your products.
How yeast-based ingredients achieve meaty notes
The secret to great-tasting meaty flavours in our ingredients is the glutamic acid, an amino acid known for its umami flavour. As well as yeast, it’s also present in meat and cheese. So, if you want something to bring out meaty notes in your food – without actually using animal or dairy ingredients – yeast is the perfect solution.
Yeast is extremely useful for vegan or vegetarian food products, as well as giving your meat products an even meatier flavour, emphasising the tastes that your customers love.
Key benefits of our meaty note solutions
Distinct meat notes (beef or poultry)
Our team of experts has developed a range of yeast-based ingredients to imitate different meaty tastes. So, if you need a succulent braised chicken flavour profile, OHLY® SAV-R-MEAT PBD is for you. Or if you're looking to add roasted meat flavour to poultry, pork and beef recipes, try OHLY® BFT
Highlight meaty and savoury notes
Thanks to that glutamic acid, yeast has a natural umami flavour. So, in meat-based recipes it's great for providing a base profile to support the savoury notes. Or, if you're creating a vegan or vegetarian dish, Ohly's yeast-based ingredients will help impart meaty notes and even provide that juicy and fatty mouthfeel without using any meat.
