New ingredients for cheesemaking.

Flavorchem Corp.’s new peppermint and spearmint oils are pure and natural with a smooth crisp, cool flavor profile, according to the company.

Allen Flavors’ flavor creation laboratory added 15 new organic flavors to its portfolio which are all compatible with dairy-produced teas and beverages.

The food and beverage industry whizzed past a major milestone in 2011, when for the first time ever the global value of the natural colorants market exceeded that of its synthetic counterparts.

Natural flavors from Allen, DSM, Flavorchem and more!

After what feels like decades of straining to eat virtuously, the backlash has arrived in the form of a generalized weariness with the whole notion of “good for you.” How else to explain the success of foodservice stunts like the Pop-Tart ice cream sandwich from hamburger purveyor Carl’s Jr., or Taco Bell’s successful-beyond-belief Doritos Locos Taco?

 Chr. Hansen has introduced a strong alternative to annatto. By replacing annatto with the beta-carotene based WhiteWhey colors, cheese producers will experience an 85-95% reduction in color transfer to the whey, resulting in a production process that is simpler, faster and cheaper.  

 FMC Health and Nutrition significantly strengthened its natural colors offering with the 2012 acquisition of Phytone Ltd.’s unique color technology and its 2011 acquisition of Chilean-based South Pole Biogroup.
