Lallemand’s Natural Nootkatone: A Biotech-Based Path Forward for Citrus Flavor Formulation
Citrus has long been a cornerstone of flavor creation, but the supply chain behind these bright, familiar notes is increasingly unstable. Grapefruit-derived nootkatone, prized for its crisp aroma, is traditionally extracted in trace amounts from citrus peel- making it vulnerable to climate change, disease, and geopolitical disruption.
Lallemand’s Natural Nootkatone offers a biotech-based solution. Produced via precision fermentation, it replicates the sensory brilliance of grapefruit while bypassing the fragility of citrus agriculture. Made from renewable raw materials, it ensures consistent quality and availability year-round. The range is available in 85% liquid and 98% crystalline forms, offering flexibility for diverse formulation needs.
This ingredient meets natural labeling standards across the EU and the US, simplifying regulatory compliance for global players. Its clean, authentic grapefruit profile performs across sparkling beverages, savory sauces, and complex flavor bases- making it a dependable choice for formulators seeking both sensory excellence and operational reliability.
In today’s fast-paced market, Lallemand’s Natural Nootkatone empowers brands to innovate without compromise. It’s not just a flavor molecule- it’s a strategic ingredient built for the realities of modern formulation.
