Binding

Our ACTIVA® range is widely used by makers around the world to make better products and dishes that would otherwise be difficult to achieve. TG creates bonds between specific amino acids to help build the bonding structure. For example, you can create a new product in one big piece thanks to several pieces of meat recombined together. Achieve spectacular results, suitable for multiple types of production processes. TG is very useful in finding solutions to manage and reuse co-products and reduce costs.

Optimal production

In the dairy sector in particular, we know that milk and therefore milk proteins are expensive but essential for a good product. Indeed, proteins allow products such as yoghurts for example, to have a homogeneity and smoothness of the product as well as a good sensation in the mouth during tasting. Our ACTIVA® range can meet your production problems when you encounter supply difficulties or for any other need.

How Ajinomoto Food Europe solutions and ingredients can reduce waste?

The manufacture of products can generate waste. Product offcuts, or waste, are among the highest costs for companies. Reducing it can allow manufacturers to increase their efficiency and reduce their costs. Depending on the product, Ajinomoto Foods Europe solutions and ingredients have solutions to improve the efficiency of the production line, which is why, for us, nothing is thrown away and everything is transformed. We prefer not to use the word ‘waste’ but ‘co-products’.  One of the enzymatic actions that can be carried out by the ACTIVA range of Ajinomoto Foods Europe solutions and ingredients is the creation of a new product from the co-products of a previous one. This solution allows the company to open up its market to another target, new customers and consumers or to a new sector.

How Ajinomoto Foods Europe solutions and ingredients can improve efficiency in raw material sourcing ?

Another issue that manufacturers also face and that Ajinomoto Foods Europe solutions and ingredients can help you to find solutions to improve efficiency is raw material sourcing.

These factors can influence the selling price of your products and therefore the impact on your customers’ buying decision. Ajinomoto Foods Europe solutions and ingredients can help you with this issue. Our ACTIVA product range can help to reduce the amount of raw material in your dairy products, such as yoghurts, without negatively impacting the customer experience. The creaminess that consumers perceive remains unchanged.

Our Kokumi range is effective in many industries. We have excellent results in sauces, soups, broths, spices, marinades, spicy or marinated meats.
