What savoury means here
KGN Chemicals is a leading supplier of savoury flavour solutions in most categories.
Savoury food is salty or spicy and not sweet in taste, and it is the hardest family to
fake — the tongue forgives a thin strawberry long before it forgives a thin beef.
We create savoury flavours for potato chips, snacks, topical snack seasonings and
coatings, and cracker seasonings and coatings. Every profile is developed in our own
flavour house by qualified flavourists.

Where it goes
Application decides everything downstream — a topical seasoning has to cling and stay
legible on the tongue, while an extruded snack has to carry its flavour through heat
and shear and still taste like the sample you approved.

Custom development
Bring a target and we will work back from it: a competitor sample, a regional profile
you cannot source locally, or a brief that exists only as a description. We build the
profile, adjust it against your process, and hold it stable at volume.

| Brief | Build from a written description |

| Adapt | Reformulate for cost, process or regulation |
