Appli­cations and properties

With our flavour portfolio, you can improve smell and taste and compensate for flavour losses.

With our numerous product solutions and decades of experience in the food and beverage industry, we can create a unique aroma and flavour signature for your application.

With our portfolio you can compensate for flavour losses during production or storage and achieve a consistent taste.

Liquid, viscous or dry - from flavours to organic certified extracts

Various flavours and extracts in liquid, viscous or dry form meet both the individual market needs and the technical requirements of your market sector.

As naturalness is becoming more and more important for consumers, we have expanded our portfolio to include a variety of bio-certified flavours that comply with the current regulation.

Support a more conscious diet with our flavours!

The demand for fat, sugar or salt-reduced products in the food market is increasing.

With our SymLife® flavours, we support you in developing your products in line with the market needs in a consumer-friendly way. Masking flavours as well as solutions for completing a rounded profile play an important role.

In particular, off-flavours can be balanced, missing saltiness or sweetness can be compensated and an improvement of the mouthfeel can be achieved.

We optimise the Nutri-Score of your products

Consumers increasingly look for Nutri-Score on product packaging as part of their decision making process.

With our flavours and wider portfolio, you can optimise the taste of your products and even improve the Nutri-Score if required.
