Fresh Shrimp Paste Powder Flavor is a complex food additive designed to highly simulate the unique salty, rich seafood flavor and distinctive fermented aroma characteristic of natural fermented shrimp paste. In the food industry, it is a core ingredient in formulating Southeast Asian and Chinese seafood seasonings.
Fresh Shrimp Paste Powder Flavor belongs to the savory/seafood flavor category. It is made from small shrimp such as “Qingdao oyster shrimp” and “small white shrimp,” which are processed through salting and fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and spray drying, and then compounded with food flavorings. Its core flavor components are:
Sulfur compounds: dimethyl trisulfide, dimethyl disulfide, providing the characteristic “shrimp paste-fermented” savory aroma;
Aldehydes and ketones: isovaleraldehyde, 2-methylbutanal, enhancing the “meaty-nutty” undertones;
Pyrazines: 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine, giving a “roasted-caramelized” base note;
Esters and alcohols: ethyl isovalerate, 3-methylthiopropanol, harmonizing the “shrimp freshness-fatty aroma.”
Food Fresh Shrimp Paste Powder Flavour is used in Seasoning packets, potato chips, popcorn, sausages, ham, hot pot base, canned goods, fishing bait, etc
Main Uses:
Instant noodles/rice noodles: Seasoning powder packets, sauce packets; used in conjunction with tomato and chicken powder, the top note highlights the “shrimp paste fermented aroma + roasted aroma.”
Puffed snacks: Shrimp-flavored potato chips, corn puffs, popcorn; spray onto the surface at 0.5%–1%, then dry again.
Meat products: Grilled sausages, Taiwanese-style sausages, ham, bacon, dried meat; 3–6‰ (0.3%–0.6%) added during chopping and mixing with spices, can mask the fishy smell of animal fat and impart a fermented seafood base flavor.
Frozen prepared foods: Fish balls, shrimp balls, dumpling fillings; 3–6‰, used in conjunction with MSG and I+G to enhance freshness.
Catering and compound seasonings: Hot pot base, spicy sauce, braising liquid, braised eggs/duck necks; add 10 minutes before serving to prevent the top notes from evaporating due to prolonged boiling. Pickles/Canned Goods: Shrimp paste cucumber, five-spice shrimp paste beans, 0.2%–0.4% is sufficient to replicate the traditional jar-packed flavor.
Industrial and Daily Chemicals: Pet dry food coating, fish bait, puffed feed, 0.1%–0.3% external spraying, secondary drying for flavor fixation.
