Mushroom extract powder & concentrate
In a time when consumers are more convious of their food choices and its impact on their health, there is a growing demand for cleaner and clearer declarations. Through a natural ingredient, the white mushroom, this goal can be achieved while maintaining a palatable profile. Natural flavour enhancement can be achieved through the umami flavour in our products. This can create fantastically balanced flavour profiles and reduce salt and artificial flavour enhancers. By harnessing the power of natural umami, the overall taste experience can be improved in a healthy way. Our natural flavour enhancers come only from mushrooms and are therefore 100% natural.
Umami, the fifth basic flavour, works in synergy with the other basic flavours and gives food a full, lingering taste. In addition, Umami flavourings, which are naturally present in mushrooms in the form of glutamate and guanylate, among others, have the ability to enhance flavour and increase the perception of salty taste. It makes DFI Mushrooms’ line of umami-rich vegetable extracts a powerful, natural alternative to the flavour enhancers MSG (E621) and yeast extract, as well as a salt-reduction ingredient. Salt reductions of up to 50% have been achieved, without affecting the taste and function of salt and without the use of potassium chloride.

Our products can be used in various applications, such as bakery products, vegetable mixes, soups and sauces, ready-made meals, herbs and spices, cold snacks, flavourings, cheese applications, broths and meat (substitutes). Our mushroom products can be roughly divided into 2 categories, namely mushroom extract powder/concentrate and taste accelerators.
Create an intense mushroom flavour for your mushroom soups, sauces or other recipes. Our mushroom extract powder and mushroom extract concentrate intensify the mushroom flavour in your products. In addition, the naturally occurring umami provides depth and enrichment of flavour.
Our Taste Accelerator has been developed to enhance flavour intensity in your application without adding extra flavour of your own. It is based on mushrooms rich in glutamate and the ribonucleotides inosinate and guanylate. These provide umami synergy and function as a natural flavour enhancer.
