Synergy Flavours has launched ‘Inspiring Fruits’, a collection of fruit essences. Adding to the company’s Pure range of extracts and essences, the collection is designed to offer manufacturers natural solutions suitable for various food and drink applications.
The updated collection consists of essences such as pear, sour cherry, peach, strawberry, raspberry, and blackcurrant. As the essences are made using only raw materials, Synergy says, there are multiple labelling options for manufacturers, including clean-label, being depictable on-pack, and natural named flavours, which meet the standard for organic-suitable flavours as set by the EU under regulation 2018/248.
With requests for provenance and transparency increasing, the company has also worked with suppliers to offer British provenance for the raspberry, strawberry and blackcurrant essences.
The company’s proprietary process uses steam distillation to capture the aroma of the raw material and preserve the taste of natural fruits at their peak, it claims. The essences are suitable for products including beverages, dairy products and desserts, while the natural flavour options offer flexibility for manufacturers.
Eric Zabiolle, General Manager of Southern Europe, Synergy Flavours, said: “Manufacturers are innovating and catering to demand from consumers for more natural ingredients across food and beverage products.
“At Synergy, we use a blend of art, science and insight to capture and preserve the best of what nature has to offer, so that we can provide our customers with tailored solutions whilst keeping product labels as ‘clean’ and natural as possible. By developing these essences, natural named flavours, and depictable flavours, we’re able to provide a true-to-nature range that offers authenticity and flexibility to meet the demands of today's consumers. All of our solutions, including our wider Synergy Pure™ range, are easily tailored to meet specific taste challenges, and this is something we work on closely with our customers.”
