WHERE OUR PRODUCT FITS

APPLICATION	HOW OUR PRODUCTS HELP
Savoury Sauces (Hot Fill & Shelf Stable)	Ketchup, BBQ sauce, steak sauce, brown sauce, and savoury condiments require heat-stable ingredients that survive hot fill or pasteurization (85-95°C) and maintain flavour through 12-18 month shelf life. HVP provides umami backbone. Caramel Powder adds natural brown color. Vinegar Powder contributes tangy notes and pH control. Reaction Flavours add smoky and roasted character. These enable heat stability through hot fill, long-term flavour stability, natural color development, sodium reduction (20-30% achievable), and cost optimization versus traditional flavour systems.
Asian Style Sauces & Glazes	Soy sauce, teriyaki, hoisin, oyster sauce, and Asian glazes need authentic fermented umami character and natural brown color. Soya Sauce Powder delivers authentic soy fermented taste. HVP adds savoury depth. Caramel Powder supports rich brown color. Yeast Extracts contribute complexity. These enable authentic Asian flavour profiles, fermented umami without long aging, natural color development, clean-label positioning, and sodium reduction in traditionally high-sodium products.
Salad Dressings (Pourable & Thick)	Ranch, Caesar, Italian, vinaigrette, and creamy dressings require ingredients that support emulsion stability, deliver flavour impact, and maintain quality through refrigerated shelf life. Cheese Powder provides authentic dairy flavour in ranch and Caesar variants. HVP adds savoury depth. Vinegar Powder delivers tangy acidity. Non-Dairy Creamer supports creaminess in vegan variants. These facilitate emulsion stability, refrigerated shelf life (3-6 months), clean-label declarations, sodium reduction, and dairy-free alternatives for the vegan market.
Marinades & Cooking Sauces	Wet marinades, cooking sauces, and flavour concentrates need water-soluble ingredients that penetrate meat and vegetables, survive cooking processes, and deliver concentrated flavour. HVP provides concentrated umami. Soya Sauce Powder adds Asian flavour profiles. Reaction Flavours contribute grilled and charred notes. Vinegar Powder provides acidity. These ingredients enable flavour penetration, heat stability through cooking, concentrated flavour in small volumes, clean-label positioning, and shelf life without synthetic preservatives.
Hot Sauces & Spicy Condiments	Hot sauce, chili sauce, sriracha, and spicy condiments need ingredients that balance heat with flavour depth, support vinegar-based systems, and maintain consistent viscosity. HVP adds a savoury backbone that balances capsaicin heat. Vinegar Powder provides tangy acidity. Yeast Extracts contribute umami that makes spicy products more complex and satisfying. These enable balancing heat with flavour, acid stability in high-vinegar systems, clean-label declarations, consistent viscosity across production batches, and long shelf life (12+ months).
Dry Sauce Mixes & Seasoning Blends	Gravy mixes, sauce bases, salad dressing mixes, and dry marinades require free-flowing powders that disperse quickly in water or oil and deliver full flavour on reconstitution. HVP provides umami depth. Cheese Powder adds dairy flavour. Vinegar Powder contributes acidity. Caramel Powder supports color development in gravies and brown sauces. These ingredients enable rapid dispersibility, flavour consistency after reconstitution, natural colour development, clean-label positioning, and cost-effective formulation across multiple sauce applications.

Can your ingredients help reduce sodium in sauces and dressings?

Yes. Herbal Isolates’ HVP and Yeast Extracts are umami rich ingredients that enhance saltiness perception, allowing sodium reduction of 20-30% while maintaining full, satisfying taste. They work by providing naturally occurring glutamic acid and nucleotides that amplify savoury taste perception.

What ingredients does Herbal Isolates offer for instant noodle applications?

Herbal Isolates provides several categories of ingredients suited to instant noodle formulations:

Umami & Savoury Depth: Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP) in soya, mustard, and wheat variants; CleanSavour™ HVP for clean label applications; Yeast Extracts for natural flavour enhancement; Soya Sauce Powder for authentic fermented umami and broth color.
Cooked Flavour Character: HVP based Reaction Flavours delivering grilled, roasted, and fried notes through controlled Maillard reactions.
Functional Specialty Powders: Vinegar Powder for acidity control; Caramel Powder for broth color; Fat Powder for mouthfeel and richness; Non-Dairy Creamer for creamy variants; Cheese Powder for fusion flavours.
Spice Components: Dehydrated Green Pepper for authentic visual appeal and spice character.

All ingredients are manufactured at our BRC AA-grade certified facility in Kerala, India, with full Halal and Kosher certification.

Typical approach: Replace 20-25% of salt with HVP at 0.5-1.2% inclusion. The umami enhancement makes the remaining salt taste stronger, so consumers perceive full flavour at lower sodium levels. Particularly effective in soy-based sauces, savoury dressings, and Asian condiments where sodium levels are traditionally high.

Are your ingredients clean label and MSG-free?

Yes. All Herbal Isolates ingredients are produced without adding monosodium glutamate (MSG). Our HVP range provides naturally occurring glutamic acid formed during the hydrolysis process, but we never add free MSG.

What's the typical inclusion rate for HVP in sauce formulations?

Inclusion rates depend on the application and desired intensity:

Savoury sauces (ketchup, BBQ, steak sauce): 0.5-1.5%
Asian style sauces & glazes: 0.8-2.0%
Salad dressings: 0.3-0.8%
Marinades & cooking sauces: 0.8-1.5%
Hot sauces: 0.5-1.0%
Dry sauce mixes: 1.0-2.5% (of total dry mix)

Do your ingredients work in heat processed sauces?

Yes. Herbal Isolates’ HVP and Reaction Flavours are heat stable and maintain flavour integrity through various sauce processing methods:

Hot fill (85-95°C): Maintain flavour during pasteurization and hot bottling
Retort processing (121°C): Survive sterilization in shelf stable sauces
Cooking processes: Work well in sauces that undergo extended simmering or reduction

Our ingredients often improve during thermal processing because heat promotes additional flavour development through Maillard reactions, adding depth and complexity to finished sauces.

Can your ingredients support emulsion stability in dressings?

Yes. Herbal Isolates offers several ingredients that support emulsion stability:

Cheese Powder: Provides emulsification support through milk proteins and helps stabilize oil in water emulsions
Non Dairy Creamer: Contributes to stable emulsions in vegan dressings and dairy free sauces
Fat Powder: Improves mouthfeel and supports emulsion formation

These ingredients work alongside traditional emulsifiers (egg yolk, mustard, modified starches) to create stable, smooth textured dressings and creamy sauces.
