Flavors & Fragrances

Fragrance, Freshness, Shelf life

Our Flavors & Fragrances (F&F) business unit develops and produces flavor and fragrance ingredients, preservatives, and animal nutrition products. Our F&F substances are found in various everyday consumables, such as cosmetics and personal care products, detergents and cleaning agents, beverages, baked goods, candles, oils, and animal feed.

Flavors & fragrances refine and enhance products, making them smell nice and feel fresh.

Preservatives protect foods from mold and bacteria. They also extend their shelf life. 

Our F&F substances are easy to process and boast excellent odor and flavor profiles.

Our portfolio also includes specialty chemicals for industrial applications. Industries like pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and construction materials require these for their products.
