Maxarome® Prime: A Naturally Derived Flavor Multiplier

Maxarome® Prime offers a powerful, single-ingredient solution for maximizing flavor impact through the synergistic interaction of glutamate and nucleotides.

Glutamate, a naturally occurring amino acid responsible for umami taste, serves as the core flavor enhancer found in foods like aged cheese, mushrooms, and tomatoes. When combined with nucleotides—specifically disodium inosinate (IMP) and disodium guanylate (GMP)—umami perception is significantly amplified.

This synergy enhances the activation of glutamate receptors on the tongue, increasing their sensitivity and signaling strength. Studies show this combination can heighten umami intensity by 20 to 30 times compared to glutamate alone.

For R&D teams, using Maxarome® Prime translates to a reduced need for added sodium or other flavor enhancers—enabling clean label formulation and flavor optimization across a wide range of savory applications.

Maxarome® Prime is a versatile tool that can be used in a variety of applications:
