Application areas and properties

Flexibility and consumer-friendly declaration

A wide variety of declaration options and the selection of liquid and viscous flavours for beverages meet both the individual market needs and the technical requirements of the individual beverage applications.

By offering even smaller volumes on demand, we provide you with the necessary space for creativity and individuality. The experienced application technicians in our own laboratories and a trained regulatory team support you in the technical and regulatory development of your beverage application.

Healthy and functional flavours

We supply you with innovative ingredients that support a conscious and healthy lifestyle. As consumers become more health conscious, there is also an increasing demand for beverages that are less sweet, contain few calories and little to no alcohol.

When the sugar content of beverages is reduced, it affects the overall taste profile, mouthfeel and emotions associated with a sweet taste. Our taste-balancing solution symlife™ helps you to significantly improve the taste of reduced-sugar products.

In addition to reduced-sugar drinks, functional drinks enriched with nutrients or minerals are also becoming increasingly popular.

Vanilla – Our strength

Vanilla is a very central ingredient in sweets and dairy products, but vanilla flavours also play an important role in beverages. A light taste of vanilla can be found in cola, for example, while in other cases, such as liqueurs or coffee, a strong and impressive vanilla note is applied.

With the vanilla flavours of the inspiring vanilla™ brand from Symrise, many product solutions for numerous beverage applications are available from the market leader.

Citrus on everyone's lips

The freshness and versatility of citrus fruits have made them a popular raw material in the food and fragrance industry. The flavour of citrus fruits is popular in many beverages and is used all over the world.

Our partner Symrise is pioneering the development of citrus flavours from natural sources. To extract and isolate a particular scent or flavour, you need to understand exactly what makes that fruit so valuable, unique and desirable.

To do this, Symrise has invested in new technologies and created the inspiring citrus™ brand, which allows our customers to experience the world of citrus in all its dimensions.
