OKUNO was the first company in Japan to domestically produce baking powder in 1922.
Since then, we have expanded our products in various food additives, shelf life improvers, preservatives,
food quality improvers as well as the sanitary items related to food industries.

Our products has the advantage of maintaining the original tastes and flavors, not decreasing the deliciousness of food.
Additionally, we have developed unique modifying technology on wheat protein as PROFECT series. OKUNO has a wide product range about food quality improvers by the combination of wheat protein with various food materials such as polysaccharides, fats, oil, reducing sugar.
Our quality improvers contribute to keeping food colors, reducing out-of-specification and irregular food product, and increase workability.
It is said that three factors, food-side (like food taste, aroma, texture), human-side (like hungry feeling, emotions, eating habits) and environmental-side factors (like weather, culture), will affect the deliciousness of food.
