AJINOMOTO INNOVATIONS
You taste something delicious. Is it simply a signal that you found a food you like? It is your body saying something more profound? Nutrition science has shown that foods with the right balance of amino acids are vital for keeping our bodies healthy. But people do not need scientists to tell us which foods sustain good health. We know innately from taste. The taste sensation that provides this signal is called umami. Along with sweetness, sourness, bitterness and saltiness, umami is one of the five known basic taste sensations. Uniquely, umami receptors exist not only on the tongue, but also in the stomach, which responds to the taste of the umami by preparing for digestion and the absorption of proteins.
From the moment of taste the body receives a signal to eat and thrive. Ajinomoto has poured a century of research into amino acids, making invaluable contributions to nutrition science.
Ajinomoto is a world leader in Animal Nutrition. Most conventional livestock feed lacks optimal nutritional balance. By improving the diets of livestock farmers can increase meat and egg production, ensuring a more productive use of resources. Ajinomoto manufactures feed-grade amino acids such as lysine, threonine and tryptophan for worldwide use as supplements in animal feed.
The Ajinomoto Group Pharmaceutical business began in the 1960s with a line of intravenous feeding and nutrition products. Over the decades, these products have proven their effectiveness as part of comprehensive treatment program worldwide.
With our state of the art amino acid technology we are leading the way in amino acid-based pharmaceutical and nutraceutical development, drawing upon the latest medical research to meet global needs.
