Food Materials and Food Additives Business
In addition to being delicious, processed foods must meet many requirements including shape and texture, convenience, shelf life, and suitability for processing.
We have a wide range of products tailored to the diversifying uses of our customers, including thickening stabilizers and quality-improving agents for improved texture and water retention, and functional ingredients for health conscious customers.
We provide functionality that customers need based on changes in food preferences and problems faced during production.

Thickening stabilizers
These food additives improve food texture and improve water retention. They can be used mainly for processed foods, such as noodles, processed meat products, and seafood paste products.
Quality-improving agents
Quality-improving agents are effective for improving the color tone, dispersion, elasticity, water retention, and formation of various food products, such as meat products, processed seafood, dairy products, and beverages. In particular, the Company’s enzymes can selectively break down sinew and lean of meat and increase yield for meat products.
