With the diversification of formats for more convenience and indulgence, it definitively creates opportunities for product development."

Sourcing quality

Our expertise in health and nutrition starts from the ground up. Screening and selecting the best active compounds from nature
— a key step in product quality.

We use our agronomic expertise to identify and evaluate varieties of raw materials that are naturally rich in the targeted active compound. This time-consuming work, which requires a deep understanding of raw materials, is made possible through a close collaboration between our expert agronomists, farmers and talented R&D teams.

Unique know-how in green extraction

In keeping with our philosophy of clean and green, we are exceedingly careful about the environmental footprint of our operations while remaining committed to delivering products that stay true to their raw material properties.

Our green extraction process is based on water or hydro-ethanol. The technology we use generates very high concentrations of active compounds, enabling small but effective dosages within finished products.

Regulatory and scientific support

We assist our customers with country-specific regulatory support across the globe. Our experts help to develop an appropriate health claim dossier and to attain specific local regulatory status such as FOOD or GRAS.

We also provide the science to support the efficacy and define the working mechanisms of our active compounds using in-vitro testing and mechanistical studies. In addition, we conduct pre-clinical and clinical studies in partnership with a network of universities and research centers. These studies allow us to define appropriate health and structural functional claims, according to local regulations.

Taste and application

To provide truly optimized flavor performance, we always consider the final application to guide the flavor composition and delivery format of our customized solutions.

We design fit-for-purpose flavors that rebalance and optimize overall taste profiles based on our insights into market trends and consumer needs, our broad taste competencies and comprehensive masking tools.

Our understanding of the taste challenges facing producers of fortified and functional foods, together with our best-in-class analytical tools, allows us to locate and decode the bitterness and astringency that result from added minerals, polyphenols and other active compounds. Together with our portfolio of active and natural ingredients, our flavoring solutions provide holistic, enjoyable, healthy-eating experiences to consumers.
