2. PRÆSENTATION AF UDBYDENDE VIRKSOMHED: 

Umamamia uses biotechnology to make clean labeled, pulse-based, umami taste ingredients for the food industry (B2B). We are a lean team with different backgrounds and we have an experienced advisory board. Humans crave umami taste as it triggers their brains, increases flavor, increases the perception of salt and sweet and gives the eater an feeling of ‘mouth fullness’. Existing umami solutions have dominating aroma profiles that extend beyond umami, making them less versatile for use in food applications. Our products has a clean umami taste, is cost-effective and can be used for both sweet and savory food. We focus on the market for hybrids and alternative proteins, as plants have very little to no umami, and most consumers feel that those types of products do not live up to their expectations and need improvement in flavor. 

Our vision is to have a world where food is delicious and nutritious as well as sustainably produced. We launched our product: UmamiFix, which has an umami level equal to parmesan measured in free glutamate. The declaration is clean and transparent, the product only contains peas and salt and the first customers are already adding our ingredient to their food products, enhancing their flavor. We are producing with contract manufacturing and we have proven production at scale.
