Flavours > What makes a Flavour Natural, Nature Identical or Artificial?


Vanilla flowerNatural flavours and natural flavour components are preparations of individual substances that are fit for human consumption and are obtained exclusively from vegetable or animal raw materials by means of physical, microbiological or enzymatic processes. They are fit for human consumption either in their raw state, or after being processed by means of traditional food processing methods (including drying, roasting and fermentation).

Nature Identical flavour compounds are substances that are isolated from aromatic raw materials by means of chemical methods, or are synthetically produced; they are chemically identical with substances that occur in natural products fit for human consumption (either processed or unprocessed).

Artificial flavour compounds consist of those substances that have thus far not yet been identified in natural products intended for human consumption (either processed or unprocessed).


We hold an extensive range of flavour samples in our flavour library so please contact us for a sample.

Please note that minimum order quantities apply to many of our flavours.
