Mushroom Umami
Flavour matters. We create it.
We specialize in creating natural and sustainable flavour solutions for savoury applications.
Industry customers often approach us if they want to enhance flavours naturally or replace ingredients that are difficult to label, such as yeast extracts or MSG.
We can do that and much more.
One process. Multiple solutions.
We can assist you in adding umami to your product in various ways.
We currently offer three solutions:
1. Flavour Solutions
Our portfolio of savoury flavour solutions.
2. Customized flavour solutions
We tailor flavour solutions to your specific needs.
3. Side stream optimization
We start from your side stream to create a unique solution with intense taste & flavour.
Why our flavour solutions?
By choosing our solutions, your food product will actively contribute to utilize side streams from the food and agricultural industry.
In addition to this we deliver:
- Climate foot print calculations
- Natural & clean label
- Unique flavour profile
Lightning-fast prototype development.
We develop and produce our flavour solutions in our own production facilities in Copenhagen's Nordhavn.
This means that we can rapidly turn an idea into a product.
Additionally, we have the ability to control all aspects related to quality and confidentiality.
Moreover, we understand the importance of creating the perfect match between ingredient and product.
Flavour solution 1: REDUCED Umami Sauce with Mushrooms
Our mushroom umami product is a natural flavouring made from upcycled mushrooms. We use mushrooms that are discarded for various reasons such as incorrect size, damage, or parts that are not usable.
A staggering 8-10% of all cultivated mushrooms are thrown away, resulting in 200 tons of waste per year from just one producer.
At REDUCED, we see side streams as an opportunity for flavor, which led us to develop our mushroom umami product.
Today, by upcycling just one kilogram of discarded mushrooms, we prevent 0.47 kg of CO2 emissions from going to waste.

Flavour solution 2: REDUCED Umami Sauce with Chicken.
Our chicken umami product is a natural flavouring made from upcycled egg-laying hens.
Because these hens eventually stop laying eggs and their meat becomes too tough to eat, they are often discarded or used in animal feed.
In Denmark alone, this leads to an annual waste of 8 million kg of organic chickens.
At REDUCED, we see side streams as an opportunity for flavor, which led us to develop our chicken umami product.
Since the production of 1 kg of chicken results in 8 kg of CO2 emissions (CONCITO), upcycling these hens contributes to a better utilization of precious natural resources.
