About Us

About us

Herbal Isolates

In 1984, in Kerala’s pepper belt, we began with a single idea: to create a gentler, more nuanced alternative to black pepper. That idea gave birth to Herbal Isolates.

That spirit of refinement still guides us. From pioneering green pepper products that today hold over 70% of the global market, we have grown into a global name, supported by the legacy and strength of the Synthite Group.

In the past decade, we have expanded into flavour enhancing ingredients, developing indigenous capability in Hydrolysed Vegetable Proteins (HVPs) while deepening our commitment to sustainable sourcing and farmer partnerships. Our ingredients are ethically procured, rigorously tested to remain free from harmful residues, and processed with state-of-the art methods and full traceability to preserve natural flavour and meet the highest global safety standards.

This journey has now evolved into SavourOn, our dedicated portfolio of flavour-enhancing and spray-dried solutions, created with the latest advances in reaction flavour technology. From farms across India to kitchens around the world, Savouron embodies our promise to elevate savoury experiences today and shape the tastes of tomorrow.
