RAISE is a bioprocessed ingredient that delivers umami flavor and acts as a natural flavor enhancer.
Developed to improve the flavor profile of foods, it allows for the reduction of salt, sugar, and the replacement of monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Derived from edible fungi and brewer’s yeast, RAISE is high in umami, a flavor that creates a pleasurable sensation and is associated with the perception of saltiness.
RAISE is an ingredient protected by a patent of invention.
