Flavors and fragrances chemicals and ingredients

Large flavour and fragrance houses, mid-size compounders and in-house teams at consumer goods companies all buy aroma chemicals and naturals. Quality is judged both by analysis and by smell or taste, so suppliers provide an odour or taste standard and match each batch to it. Prices for naturals move with harvests, weather and currency, while synthetic aroma chemicals follow petrochemical and turpentine feedstock costs.

Rules differ for flavours and fragrances. Flavour ingredients must be permitted for food use, for example through FEMA GRAS status in the US or the EU Union list, and natural flavour claims require proof of natural origin. Fragrance ingredients must follow the IFRA Standards and allergen labelling rules for cosmetics and detergents, including the expanded EU list of fragrance allergens. When you post a request, give the material name and CAS number, flavour or fragrance grade, natural or synthetic, purity and odour requirements, and the documents you need, such as natural certificates, IFRA statements, allergen data, halal and kosher certificates.
