BASF to Introduce Two Isobionics Natural Flavor Ingredients
BASF SE’s BASFY Aroma Ingredients brand, Isobionics, is set to launch two new natural ingredients, Isobionics Natural beta-Sinensal 20 and Isobionics Natural alpha-Humulene 90, for the flavor market. These are produced using a cutting-edge fermentation process. Isobionics Natural alpha-Humulene 90 is geared for applications in beverages and essential oils.
BASF has been investing in innovations and the launch of these products is a part of this effort. The Isobionics Natural beta-Sinensal 20 has a potential for wide use in savory formulations, adding juiciness to any flavour or enhancing the organoleptic properties of orange oil products. The Isobionics Natural alpha-Humulene 90 is a woody flavor ingredient with high purity and is suitable for non-alcoholic as well as alcoholic beverages. This is a perfect choice for hop oil applications.
The manufacturing process of both ingredients entails fermentation from readily available renewable raw materials and is independent from weather and harvest conditions, enabling consistent premium quality as well as reliable availability. BASF’s dedicated team for Specialty Aroma Ingredients has been continuously driving such product innovations to keep up with current and future trends.
BASFY stock has lost 7.9% in the past year compared with the 16.6% decline in the industry.
