Authentic citrus flavor
Flavor (and fragrance) knowledge and creativity is essential for developing innovative citrus-flavored products.
Citrus
Let loose the juice!
Citrus represents a universe unto itself. From the ubiquitous orange, lemon, lime and grapefruit to the more uncommon mandarin, clementine, yuzu and tangerine…there’s always something new to discover. And here at dsm-firmenich, we’ll help you find it – and then use it to create palette-pleasing flavors that consumers love.
Our scientists and flavorists are constantly exploring the intimate secrets of citrus fruits - from the peel to the juice to the seeds. We can deliver the sweetness, flavor and zing of freshly squeezed juice so that your products deliver a delightful surprise to consumers.
Our innovative portfolio of citrus flavor solutions is part of 1,200 flavor products, covering all profiles and tonalities. And we support you wherever you are, via four Citrus Centers (Lakeland, Florida; São Paulo; Geneva; Shanghai). By combining our global innovation network with regional creation capabilities, we’ve got your citrus flavor covered.
Tackling your key challenges in citrus
You need a partner that understands the trends driving consumer flavor preference; and knows how to deliver the qualities needed to help you create differentiated products.
Sustainable solutions
What steps can you take to replenish the citrus fruits that are farmed for use in products – or even find authentic alternatives to them?
Lasting taste & freshness
You need unique flavor technologies to create products that maintain optimal flavor throughout their anticipated shelf life.
Behind the mask
When some ingredients are added to base products, they can create unpleasant off-notes. How can you mask them efficiently?
Freshly squeezed please!
We create concentrated citrus products and citrus flavor systems of unmatched taste performance.
We do it using an extensive range of citrus ingredients and compounds which in turn create flavor systems that restore the flavor volatiles lost during processing - and impart that much sought-after ‘freshly-squeezed’ taste in all types of beverages: including flavored water, carbonated soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and juices.
Whatever you need in citrus flavor, you can trust dsm-firmenich to find a solution: from unique concentration technologies like Tetrarome®, Citronova® and FreshSlice®; to industry leading encapsulation techniques such as Durarome® - which protects flavor until the moment of consumption.
Orange delight
Are you looking to mitigate the rising costs and supply challenges of orange oil?
Our Orange NextGen replacers and extenders are a natural, sustainable alternative to FTNF (From the Named Fruit) orange oils - achieving equivalent flavor at significant economic benefit, including reduced cost-in-use.
By leveraging our strong in-house citrus capabilities, advanced analytical expertise and deep understanding of natural molecules, we’ll help you squeeze more flavor into your brands. In fact, Orange NextGen is ideal for a wide range of applications, including delicious, orange-flavored sparkling water, juices, alcoholic beverages, sweet goods and even savory products.
