Umami Range

Scelta Taste Accelerators

Our Umami range of Scelta Taste Accelerators (STA) has been developed to modify or increase the intensity of the perceived taste in your application with no taste of its own. The basis is formed by mushrooms rich in glutamate and the ribonucleotides: inosinate and guanylate. Combined, these give an umami synergy and function as a strong natural taste enhancer.

Our unique range of products can express, enhance and balance the overall flavour profile of your products.

  • Deepens, enriches and provides long-lasting taste
  • Masks bitter / metallic tastes
  • Perfect way of reducing sodium content
  • Natural alternative to MSG/I + G/HVP
  • Clear & clean label: natural umami flavour

STA

Mushroom powder

The Scelta Taste Accelerator (STA) can be used as a general flavour enhancer, MSG substitute and sodium reducer in all kinds of savoury products. These range from sauces and soups to ready meals. Generally, an addition of only 0.15% to 0.30% is sufficient to create a 'salt substitute' effect. It is possible to reduce the sodium content by up to 50%.

STA CC

Scelta Taste Accalerator

The Scelta Taste Accelerator CC (STA CC) is developed to improve taste and flavour profiles, especially when reducing salt. CC stands for Calcium Chloride (CaCL2), which has the same effects as salt without the disadvantages of sodium. Typical applications are: bread, meat, chips, nuts and savoury biscuits.

STA DC

Mushroom dried powder

The Scelta Taste Accelerator dried concentrate (STA DC) is dried without carrier. With a special drying method, we concentrate our mushroom concentrate into a powder. Because of this concentration, you only need half the dosage of a normal STA, resulting in a double umami strength. Perfect for seasonings and meat(less) applications and more!

The Scelta Taste Accelerator (STA) can be used as a general flavour enhancer, MSG substitute and sodium reducer in all kinds of savoury products. These range from sauces and soups to ready meals. Our technical support team is ready to assist with tailored advice and to help develop specific applications to meet your needs.

Our Umami Factory

Instead of wasting them, we let trucks full of mushroom stems travel to Belfeld, the home of the Scelta Umami factory. Here, flavourings are extracted from the remaining mushroom pieces and processed into mushroom concentrate, a completely natural product. It comes in two forms: liquid and powdered. A powdered concentrate is obtained by spray drying, while a liquid concentrate is thickened into various thicknesses for different applications. Perfect for enhancing the taste of many applications in a natural way!
