Kokumi and flavours

Kokumi describes compounds in food that don’t have their own flavour as such but rather enhance the flavour of foods they are combined with. Short peptides and di-peptides often in combination with amino acids together with taste nucleotides form the enhancing effect associated with kokumi.

Kokumi and your tongue

Kokumi and your tongue

Scientists have discovered that ‘calcium channels’ on the tongue are one of the many sources that create the kokumi effect. These channels regulate the amount of calcium needed in the body and are closely related to the receptors that sense sweet and umami (savoury) tastes. Taste tests found that compounds which activated the strongest response in calcium receptors also produced the most flavour enhancement.

Kokumi & Umami - the difference

Both Umami and Kokumi are Japanese words. Umami means "essence of deliciousness" and is one of the five basic tastes (also known as monosodium glutamate). The rich, meaty tastes associated with umami compounds can also be created by cheese powder-based LACTOSAN NCB - Natural Culinary Booster®. Kokumi means "rich taste" and is described as a sense of richness, body and complexity. A Kokumi sensation is what you can expect with LACTOSAN NCB - Natural Culinary Booster®.
