'First of its kind' to be globally certified as 'natural'

DSM has launched a range of processed yeast extracts to meet the continuing demand for 'natural' ingredients.

Globally certified as 'natural', the Maxavor YE All Natural range has a 'yeast extract' label declaration. DSM claims it is: "The first of its kind to adapt to changing global flavour regulations relating to the term 'natural'."

As thermal process flavours a combination of a protein source and a reducing sugar are no longer considered natural, an alternative is needed. The natural status of L-cysteine, frequently used to produce the sulphury notes associated with beef and chicken, has also been called into question. The new range of processed yeast extracts includes the full spectrum of high-impact savoury flavour ingredients, and delivers the same taste directions as thermal process flavours combined with a natural declaration, according to DSM.

Structured under two tiers, the Maxavor YE range is designed to impart authentic, intense taste profiles in clean-label savoury foods. Maxavor Key YE is a portfolio of versatile and concentrated flavour keys with low salt content.

Available in chicken, beef and roast flavour, the pre-composed, ready-to-use ingredients can be blended to create all-natural flavour combinations, giving flavour creators the freedom to formulate.
