“Innovation in Naturals combines responsible sourcing, extraction technology and our leadership in biotechnology and green chemistry.”
Xavier Brochet, Global Head of Natural Product Innovation
We use natural materials innovatively and responsibly, combining traditional and advanced extraction methods. These advanced methods include processes to obtain 100% natural ingredients, such as Supercritical Fluid Extraction, molecular distillation and hybrid technologies including co-extraction, headspace analysis and natural reconstitution.
We have been exploring biotechnology’s potential for a long time and are now industry leaders in a fast-moving revolution.
Producing 100% natural ingredients through fermentation ensures reliability of supply and the consistency of products, both important attributes for customers and consumers.
We obtain natural molecules from natural feedstocks by using biotechnology, including enzymatic reaction, fermentation and bio or natural transformation. We also isolate them from natural raw materials in which they occur in high concentrations.
We have been producing natural molecules for more than 30 years now, constantly improving the processes we use to enrich our Naturals palette and inspire new generations of perfumers and flavorists.
