Processing
An in-depth understanding of processing conditions is essential for identifying the precise level of protection needed for every flavor.
Delivery systems
Go for Gold
Identifying the right flavor for your product is essential – but so is the delivery technology used to get it into consumers’ hands. That’s why we support you with a comprehensive flavor delivery portfolio that’s the gold standard in the industry.
Flavors are typically volatile and fragile - consisting of delicate molecules. In fact, a flavor's journey from its source to consumption is long and arduous, as it often faces fluctuations in temperature, humidity, light, exposure to oxygen, and more.
The time-lag between the manufacturing of natural and authentic flavors can span weeks, months or even years. And while consumers’ desire for less plastic and packaging is great for the planet; it also presents challenges in flavor stability. The good news? Our market-leading encapsulation technologies solve all these challenges and more - balancing flavor protection and release to deliver maximum impact.
Tackling your key challenges in flavor delivery
You need a partner that understands the trends driving flavor delivery; and knows how to bring the qualities needed to help you create differentiated products.
Handling
To retain their properties, flavors need homogenous mixing in the factory to limit the risk of contamination with other ingredients.
Controlled release
Controlling the moment of flavor delivery is critical – which is why you need reliable systems that can do it with precision.
Beyond spray-drying
Spray-dried flavors have limitations (dusting, odor, reduced shelf life, and water consumption) – which can also influence flavor. So, what’s the alternative?
Encapsulation innovation
When spray-dried flavors underperform in your application, simply turn to our proven Encapsolutions® portfolio.
These solutions ensure that your product consistently delivers the great taste your consumers expect. By identifying your ingredient, consumption format - along with all protection requirements and constraints - we can deliver the exact solution you need for superior flavor performance.
Longer-lasting taste
If you need long-lasting taste freshness and the highest protection of flavors from oxidation and interaction, look no further than our Durarome® solution.
Ideal for powdered soft drinks, confectionery (and even pharmaceuticals) its medium particle size minimizes dust and contamination in your formulation while delivering great taste.
Durarome® dissolves quickly in cold or hot water and has a two-year shelf life. What could be simpler?
Meeting the extreme

Economical taste
If you need high-performing yet economical flavor delivery in applications like instant dry food & beverages and confectionery, our Captarome® solution offers an outstanding taste-versus-price solution.
With a 12-to-24 month-shelf life this intensely aromatic, small-particle encapsulant delivers a wide palette of proven flavors. And it’s also easy to use, with fast dissolution in cold and hot water.
Full-impact taste
For a full taste impact, look no further than our process-resistant and multi-sensory Flexarome® flavors.
They deliver great aromatic impact in a medium-to-large particle size, across a range of shapes and colors – in everything from hot drinks to cooked and baked products to cereal and confectionery.
Flexarome® flavors dissolve slowly in hot water (2-3 min), have a higher heat and moisture resistance, and a shelf life of up to two years.
Tastier tea
Are you looking to enhance loose-leaf tea with captivating flavors? Or perhaps you need to restore authentic tea notes in a challenging base?
Whatever the case, our Infusarome® technology unlocks the best of nature’s potential with its natural non-shiny appearance and fresh aroma delivery. Simply add Infusarome® coated leaves to your loose-leaf tea base to boost flavor while maintaining your organic certification or clean label needs.
You can even reduce your product’s environmental footprint (energy and water consumption, CO2 emissions) thanks to our proprietary manufacturing process; which also delivers perfect flavor homogeneity.
