WHERE OUR PRODUCT FITS

APPLICATION HOW OUR PRODUCTS HELP
Potato Chips & Vegetable Chips (Topical Seasonings) Potato chips, sweet potato chips, and vegetable chips require topical seasonings that adhere to oily surfaces, deliver flavour impact at low application rates (typically 3-5% seasoning on finished product), and maintain flavour through frying.
This enables flavour intensity at low dosage, seasoning adhesion to oil-coated surfaces, heat stability through frying (160-180°C), cost-effective flavour building, and clean-label declarations.
Extruded Snacks & Puffs(Integrated & Topical Flavours) Extruded corn puffs, potato puffs, and multigrain snacks need flavours that survive extrusion cooking (140-160°C, high pressure) and optionally topical seasonings for additional impact.
These provide heat stability through extrusion, flavour intensity in both dough and coating, even seasoning distribution on irregular puff shapes, texture smoothness, and clean-label positioning for health snacks.
Roasted Nuts & Coated Nuts Roasted peanuts, almonds, cashews, and mixed nuts require dry seasonings that adhere to oily nut surfaces and flavours that survive roasting (150-180°C).
These provide flavour adhesion to oil-coated irregular surfaces, heat stability through roasting, flavour intensity at low dosage, and clean-label positioning for premium nut products.
Popcorn (Butter, Cheese, Caramel Variants) Popcorn seasonings need to stick to dry or lightly oiled popcorn surfaces and deliver flavour without creating dusty or gritty texture.
These deliver adhesion to low-oil popcorn surfaces, smooth texture without grittiness, flavour impact at low application rates, and clean-label positioning for health-focused popcorn products.
Tortilla Chips & Corn Chips Tortilla chips and corn chips (often fried or baked) need seasonings that complement corn flavour and survive thermal processing.
These ingredients complement corn-base flavour without overpowering it, provide heat stability through frying or baking, support authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex flavour profiles, and maintain clean-label positioning.
Crackers & Savory Biscuits Crackers, cheese biscuits, and savory cookies need integrated flavours that survive baking (180-200°C) and maintain flavour through extended shelf life.
These enable heat stability through baking, long-term flavour stability (6-12 month shelf life), clean-label positioning for premium cracker products, and sodium reduction in health-oriented variants.

      Yes. Herbal Isolates’ HVP and Yeast Extracts are umami rich ingredients that enhance saltiness perception, allowing sodium reduction of 15-25% in snack seasonings while maintaining full, satisfying taste. They work by providing naturally occurring glutamic acid and nucleotides that amplify savory taste perception.

      Inclusion rates depend on the snack format and desired intensity:

      • Potato chip seasonings: 0.5-1.5% (of total seasoning weight)
      • Extruded snack topical seasonings: 0.3-1.0%
      • Roasted nut seasonings: 0.4-1.2%
      • Popcorn seasonings: 0.3-0.8%
      • Integrated flavours (mixed into dough): 0.2-0.5% (of total dough weight)

      Our Reaction Flavours can be used at lower levels (0.3-0.6%) because they deliver concentrated roasted and grilled notes. Our technical team provides specific dosage recommendations based on your snack format, application method (topical vs integrated), and target flavour profile.

      Yes. Herbal Isolates’ HVP and Reaction Flavours are heat stable and maintain flavour integrity through various snack production processes:

      • Frying (potato chips, corn chips): Survive deep frying temperatures (160-180°C) without flavour degradation
      • Extrusion cooking (puffs, crisps): Compatible with high temperature, high pressure extrusion (140-160°C)
      • Roasting (nuts, seeds): Work well through dry roasting processes (150-180°C)
      • Baking (crackers, savory biscuits): Maintain flavour during oven baking (180-200°C)

      Our ingredients often improve during thermal processing because heat promotes additional flavour development through Maillard reactions.
