Powdered squid flavoring is particularly well-suited for topical seasoning (sprinkling onto products after deep-frying) and dry-blending processes; it can also be incorporated during low-temperature mixing stages.

The exact dosage may vary depending on the specific product formulation and desired flavor intensity. We recommend conducting small-scale trials to determine the optimal usage level.

Recommended Dosage:

Seasoning powders for puffed snacks: 1% – 3% (based on the weight of the seasoning powder; seasoning typically accounts for 3%–6% of the finished product)
Seasoning powder sachets for instant noodles: 3% – 10% (as a percentage of the sachet contents)
Meat products and surimi-based products: 0.3% – 1%
Compound seasonings and soup bases: 1% – 5%
Seasonings for casual snacks: 0.5% – 2%
