Breadth of the product lineup

Taiyo was founded in 1948 with a focus on manufacturing soaps and basic emulsifiers.
Leveraging this technology, Taiyo succeeded in developing Japan’s first food emulsifiers
and contributed to the production of ice cream and other modern foods at a time
when food manufacturing infrastructure was undeveloped.

Taiyo combined the needs and technology of the times to create many new products and applications.
Taiyo's novel ingredients are now used in most food industries.

The range of products and their functions have greatly diversified
and become a source for further solutions.
