This new product line covers a wide range of flavor and fragrance raw materials.

From ancient times, fragrances have appealed to people all over the world. A royal prerogative in the past, perfumery products have now gained general popularity as an integral component of personal grooming. Similarly, compounded flavors enhance the sensory appeal of food / nutritional products and improve the acceptability of medicinal formulations.

Historically, flavors and fragrances were prepared from natural materials. Innovations in chemistry have provided a range of compounded formulations to supplement nature’s bounty. These were developed through critical analysis materials followed by their preparation through synthetic routes, paving the way to the creation of several synthetic flavor and fragrance chemicals.

The natural and synthetic raw materials that constitute these com-pounded flavors and aromas include essential oils, isolated constituents, and nature-identical synthetic compounds. Some of these ingredients find versatile applications in aromatherapy as well. Coleus oil, an essential oil extracted from the roots of Coleus forskohlii using a proprietary, solvent-free supercritical carbon dioxide extraction process, is one such example.

The natural constituents of the oil impart a unique spicy aroma, with pleasant woody and pine-like undertones . This essential oil may be used as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages, in aromatherapy and in perfumery. An additional application is as antimicrobial agent in personal care products*.
