Sotolon pure: the all-arounder

“This lactone is a flavour superstar prized for its strength and versatility. Its distinct ability to enhance sweet, brown, nutty, and Maillard reaction-type top notes makes it indispensable for sweet and savoury formulations. At an ultra-low threshold of 0.02 ppm, it delivers remarkable intensity and depth. Unlike some molecules that you mainly taste at the front of the palette, Sotolon lingers beautifully in the mid-to-finish, creating a harmonious, full-bodied taste experience. It seamlessly integrates all components of a formulation, enhancing mouthfeel and overall complexity, making it an invaluable tool for flavourists.”

Mercapto-8 p-menthane-3-one: 
the fruity flavour essential

“Also known as buchu mercaptan, this sulphur-containing, high-impact molecule is a game changer for fruity flavour creation. At ultra-low use levels, it imparts sulfury, fruity, buchu-like nuances, that boost the natural juiciness and characteristic fruity profile of various flavours including tropical fruits, citrus, orchards, and berries, enhancing a full-bodied taste. Its exceptional strength and stability allow it to shine across diverse applications such as dairy, plant-based drinks, soft drinks, candies, and chewing gum, even under acidity or heat. For flavourists looking to develop true-to-fruit flavours, this ingredient is an indispensable asset and absolute must-have!”
