Problem
Plant-based proteins often lack the savory "umami" flavor found in meat, fish, and dairy, which can hinder their appeal to consumers. This deficiency makes it challenging to create plant-based foods that are as satisfying and flavorful as their animal-based counterparts.
Solution
Biomush (formerly Nordic Umami Company) provides all-natural umami flavoring solutions designed to enhance the taste of plant-based foods. Their approach involves creating a closed-loop system that minimizes waste by utilizing ingredients and fractions that other food producers cannot refine. By rescuing plant by-products and using circular ingredients, Biomush aims to reduce CO2 emissions while improving the flavor profiles of meatless products. Their umami solutions are designed to make plant-based foods more appealing and contribute to a more sustainable food system.
Target Audience
The primary customers are food manufacturers and restaurants seeking to improve the flavor and appeal of their plant-based offerings.
