Market Definition

Savory ingredients are flavoring agents that do not have an individual flavor of their own but enhance the overall taste of food or feed products. Savory, also known as umami flavor, ingredients used in the form of powders, liquids, pastes, or sprays, are neither sour, bitter, sweet, or salty. Still, they have a significant impact on improving the flavor and aroma of the food products.

Savory ingredients are derived from natural or synthetic sources, which provide taste and appetizing fragrances to food or other food products influenced by aromatic spices, which enhance the flavor. Some major types of savory ingredients that find applications in food and feed sectors include monosodium glutamate, yeast extracts, nucleotides, hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, and hydrolyzed animal proteins.
