Expanding the flavourist palette

This flavour ingredient – produced at very high concentration using fermentation technology – can be found not only in citrus essential oils, but also in several other natural oils, such as ylang-ylang, black pepper, clove, guava, thyme, rosemary, peppermint, eucalyptus, cinnamon, lavender and sage. This natural product uses only renewable raw materials, which makes it independent of harvest conditions and seasonality; it is also free of agricultural residues.

We are proud to offer the next innovative aroma ingredient that prioritizes quality and sustainability in the flavour industry," says Steffen Götz, Vice President of Aroma Ingredients at BASF.
