Fermentation
Utilizing fermentation for food preservation dates as far back as 10,000 B.C.E, and continues to be an important process in the food industry to this day, producing foods like cheese, wine, yogurt and kimchi.
Fermented foods are rich in beneficial probiotics which aid the body in digestion, strengthen immunity and in some cases, help with weight loss. However, due to the presence of these helpful bacteria in fermented foods, the taste of these products tend to be sour. Whether you’re searching for that flavor profile or hoping to reduce it, T. Hasegawa’s experienced team can help you do so.
What is Fermentation?
Fermentation is a natural metabolic process in which microorganisms break down sugar into functional food and drink products.

Types of Fermentation
ETHANOL / ALCOHOL
Yeasts convert sugar into ethanol & CO2, producing wine and beer
ACETIC ACID
Starches/sugars from grains & fruit break down into vinegar and kombucha
LACTIC ACID
Sugar is broken down into lactic acid, which produces yogurt and kimchi

Kombucha Offers Unique Innovation
Kombucha, the naturally carbonated drink, made from fermented tea, offers consumers a little bit of everything. It’s positioned as a premium, low sugar functional beverage that promotes gut health among other positive features.
While it remains relatively niche, hard kombucha has also made its way to the alcohol aisles. The versatility of kombucha offers several avenues for flavor ideation, in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic sectors. Classic flavors like ginger and citrus are popular among kombucha drinkers but interest lies in unique flavors like coffee and botanicals.
Fermented Flavors
Our fermented concept flavors are available in a wide range of options including Natural, Organic, WONF, TYPE, N&A and more.
Fermented foods don’t have to taste sour for them to be good for your health. T.Hasegawa’s Flavor Chemists know exactly how to navigate that delicate balance of flavor, in order to make everyone and their guts happy.
