Smoke Conversions
No step in the cooking of foods has as much inherent variability as the traditional smoking process. Disparities in smokehouses, operators, wood chips and even geography and weather can have significant effects on the quality and consistency of the product. Converting your facility to use regenerated smoking processes and smoke flavours will enable you to deliver consumer-preferred taste as well as product consistency, process efficiencies and life cycle environmental improvements.
Our experts are on-hand to help every step of the way along the conversion process, from choosing the right equipment and application mode to tailoring a smoke blend that delivers the desired taste profile.
The resulting product and process is one that is healthier for the consumer and better for the environment. Heat, wood and water are the three key natural elements needed to create condensed natural smoke. Our approach involves pyrolizing sawdust and capturing the smoke cloud in water. Particulates, tar and ash are removed to give you a refined smoke flavor.

Browning
Red Arrow’s browning solutions accelerate and enhance the Maillard reaction, providing a bright, golden-brown colour to cooked products. In addition to adding appealing colour, our browning solutions impart subtle, sweet and nutty brown flavour top-notes and modify the texture of food by enhancing crispiness and succulence.
Browning products are available in liquid and dry formats and can be used in a variety of applications including poultry, red meats, plant proteins, microwave and frozen entrees, casings, nets, cook-in-bag and coatings. Our browning solutions are designed to ensure high speed, high humidity, industrially processed foods have the appeal of made-from-scratch, back-of-the-house cooking.
Barbecue Systems
Whether you’re creating barbecue-flavoured meat or plant-based applications or a barbecue sauce or snack, you need to craft nuanced and craveable barbecue taste experiences in order to delight your customers’ senses.
The profile of a barbecue flavour system must be aligned with different cultural and geographic tastes and expectations. For example, profiles such as Korean barbecue, Jamaican jerk, tandoori and Texas barbecue have unique smoke or grill tonalities while retaining authentic and delicious BBQ taste.
By exploring and replicating both traditional and trending barbecue flavours, we take the guess-work out of formulating consumer-preferred barbecue profiles. Our unmatched technology capabilities and comprehensive toolbox of smoke and grill taste products allow us to create versatile barbecue taste systems you can use in:
- Snack seasonings
- Meat seasoning and marinades
- Meals and sides
- Sauces
