Azelis is now able to offer Evonik’s aroma extracts in the UK and Ireland, Italy, Turkey, Finland, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia Belarus, Croatia, Serbia and Russia.
Evonik’s aroma extracts make use of a process known as Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) which is carried out under gentle conditions.
“This environmentally friendly extraction technique helps to preserve the genuine flavour profile and reduces the loss of valuable flavour compounds from the original raw material,” said André Aguiar, Evonik account and marketing manager, Europe.
In addition to its greener credentials, extracts produced by SFE are said to often have a longer shelf life than other aroma extracts or need less stabilisation due to the gentle treatment. Evonik’s aroma extracts are claimed to be ideal building blocks for compounded flavours for food in general and beverages, dairy, confectionery and bakery in particular.
“We are excited to be working together with Evonik offering this innovative range of top quality aroma extracts, that meet our customers and today’s consumers needs for unadulterated, clean, healthy and tasty foods,” said David Gray, international business director, Azelis Food & Health. “We will provide unrivalled sales support, offering help and advice on applications, legislation, marketing insights as well as a streamlined sampling service.”
“We believe that with Azelis in the assigned countries, we will have improved market coverage supported by a new sales organisation, offering customers sound commercial solutions combined with a high level of local technical support,” added Aguiar.
