There’s one type of food that’s loved by consumers in every corner of the globe: snacks. The early morning energy boost, perhaps on the way to work. The post-lunch convenience store treat, a welcome respite from a busy day. The irresistible night market delicacy – salty & skewered, sweet & sticky or anything in between.
And in Asia-Pacific, the snack experiences with novel, memorable flavours – think ramen carbonara or Korean corn dogs – win consumers’ hearts. Particularly for Gen Z.
Balancing taste and nutrition, though, has never been more important. Consumers are thinking more about the salt, sugar and fat in their food – but they’re not prepared to compromise on taste. Premium flavours, mouthfeel and textures need to meet the nutritional demands of an increasingly health-conscious population.
Balancing premium snack flavour with clean-label preferences
With new, more modern methods of processing at scale, VKA allows you to replicate the familiar snack experiences consumers know and love, while innovating with premium new flavours and a cleaner label.
Baking
High baking temperatures destroy delicate compounds, leaving products flat and artificial. Our heat-stable formulations maintain their integrity from mixing through baking.


Air Popping
Air-popped snacks like popcorn and puffed grains present unique flavoring challenges. Their light, airy texture demands specialized solutions that coat evenly and penetrate effectively without adding unwanted moisture or weight. We have flavor systems that are designed specifically for air-popped products, delivering full taste impact while maintaining that signature crispy texture.
Extrusion
Extruded snacks face extreme heat and pressure during processing, which destroys standard flavor compounds and leaves products tasting flat or artificial. Our extrusion-specific flavors are engineered to survive these harsh conditions, emerging with full impact and complexity intact. We develop solutions that work with your manufacturing process, not against it.
