What are seasoning blends?

Seasoning blends are duplicated for a variety of reasons. The first is to match a competitive blend at a cheaper cost for a specific customer.

Most seasoning blends sold in the industrial market are unique to each customer. For example, Frito Lay has their unique ranch seasoning which only they purchase.

Natural and artificial flavors are often added to seasoning blends. Examples would be a sour cream flavor in a sour cream and onion or ranch seasoning, a jalapeno flavor for cheese sauce mix, or a tomato flavor in salsa seasoning.

Flavors must be used judicially since too much can cause off-flavor notes. Ingredients may be highly desirable in one particular seasoning but completely undesirable in another.

Some food products, chili con carne, for example, call for very spicy seasoning; other may require a mildly flavored seasoning, as in chicken stock seasoning.

Although the flavorings are generated by various methods, the key for a commercially successful seasoning blend lies in the art of formulating the blend of ingredients in the right ratio that will provide a desired profile for the customer during consumption of noodles. In instant noodles, the seasoning is packed in a small packet. The noodle and the seasoning then are packed in a laminated pouch.
