Evolva launches nootkatone for F&F

摘要

Evolva has announced the launch of nootkatone, a highly prized citrus flavour and fragrance (F&F) ingredient. By brewing nootkatone from sugar, rather than extracting it from the skin of grapefruits, Evolva's process allows nootkatone to be made in large amounts in a highly reproducible, contaminant free, sustainable and affordable manner. Evolva has now begun selling nootkatone as a F&F ingredient to food, beverage, personal care, and home care product producers around the world. Nootkatone is a natural aroma ingredient that occurs in grapefruit and certain other plants. It Is responsible for the characteristic smell of grapefruit. With a record of demonstrated safety, it is approved in all major countries for use in F&F, and is used in a wide range of foods, drinks, and skin care products. However, until now, its use has been limited by its high price, limited supply, product quality, and other factors.
