Innovate with Ajinomoto Health & Nutrition North America, Inc.
From reformulation to new product innovation, let's elevate your next project together
Where Tradition Meets Innovation
After discovering umami over 100 years ago, we continue to explore the science of taste. We leverage our understanding of umami and kokumi, two fundamental taste concepts, to solve challenges like sodium reduction or reducing costly ingredients during unexpected supply chain disruptions without compromising taste.
Using the age-old technology of fermentation, we continue to produce MSG domestically while developing new ingredients. We also produce stocks and broths at scale using traditional methods, while our blending capabilities create customized solutions, finished seasonings, and sauces.
