Multifunctional flavor system
umami | kokumi | salt reduction| masking
umami, kokumi, salt reduction and masking don't work in isolation here. They're grown together in a single cross-ferment, so they interact. That combination is what builds real depth: a rounder, more complex savory profile with built-in flavor modulation that no stack of separate additives can recreate.

the data behind the taste
COMPLEXITY
Layered by design
Savory depth isn't a single note, it's many taste-active compounds working at once. Cross-fermentation builds them together: glutamates for umami, nucleotides that multiply it, and kokumi peptides that add richness and length. Each shows up in the data on its own; together they create the layered complexity, the roundness and lingering savor, that no single additive can deliver.
SENSATION
kokumi
Kokumi is the sensation of richness and mouthfulness that amplifies every other taste. Where umami adds a note, kokumi turns up the whole orchestra — more depth, longer finish, less bitterness. It comes from γ-glutamyl peptides built during fermentation. FermiPro carries elevated levels of all 11 key peptides versus its raw substrate — including γ-Glu-Val-Gly, the most potent kokumi compound known.
SALT REDUCTION
Cut sodium, keep craveability
That same complexity is what lets you cut salt. Kokumi doesn't just add richness — it lengthens and deepens the perception of saltiness across the bite, so less sodium still tastes full. In sensory testing, FermiPro enabled up to 30% salt reduction while scoring higher on liking than standard salt-reduction agents — with no bitterness or metallic finish.
MASKING
Cleaner taste,
no off-notes
Plant proteins bring bitterness and beany, green notes. FermiPro works on both — its umami and kokumi turn up the savory signal so off-notes recede, while fermentation reduces the bitter and green compounds at the source. The effect is strongest exactly where it's needed most: high-protein formulations.

COMPARISONS
THE TASTE-OFF
Scored blind against the additives it replaces, salt-adjusted so taste is the only variable. FermiPro leads on complexity, kokumi and clean label, with no bitterness or metallic finish.

HOW TO APPLY
DROPS straight IN
FermiPro works as a direct addition at a 1–4% final dose — no special equipment, no reformulation around it. Match the dose to your format and it does its job from there.
Cutting sodium
Replace yeast extract and MSG 1:1, then reduce salt by 10–20% and panel-test. Most blends tolerate a 20–30% cut with no loss in perceived saltiness — and no KCl needed.
What FermiPro amplifies
Roasted alliums · dark herbs (oregano, thyme, sage) · tomato, mushroom, paprika · cheese and butter notes without dairy · smoke and char.
holds through heat
Keeps its flavor and functional properties through heat treatment, retort and cooking — so it performs in ready meals, sauces, soups and any thermal process.
Ready to use dry
No cooking, no pre-treatment. In snack seasonings and spice blends it goes in as a direct addition and works from there.
blends into liquid
A dried powder with high solubility — it disperses evenly into sauce bases, soups, dressings and wet-phase processing without clumping or settling.nly into liquid formulations without clumping or settling, making it straightforward to work with in sauce bases, soups, dressings, and wet-phase manufacturing processes.
functional attributes
Also support and enhance the mouthfeel, mainly the kokumi, as well as the solids foundation.
