Flavourings
Lucta offers state-of-the-art and innovative flavouring compositions. Together, UDEC & Lucta’s teams of specialists combine science and passion to design flavours best adapted to the market. By working in close collaboration with our customers, we provide the best flavouring solutions for each project.
Product Grades:
From The Natural Fruit (FTNF)
Volatiles recovered directly from the named fruit during processing (essence recovery, cold-press extraction). Highest authenticity.
Natural Flavouring (Natural)
Aroma compounds from any natural source (not necessarily the named fruit). Used to rebuild the profile with cost effective botanicals matching the target fruit character.
Nature-Identical (Nature-ID)
Chemically identical to natural molecules but synthetically produced. Key for cost stable supply of high-impact compounds (e.g. ethyl butanoate, linalool, limonene).
Artificial Flavouring (Artificial)
Molecules not found in nature. Increasingly avoided in juice drinks due to clean-label pressure. Still present in value tier products where cost is the primary driver.
Benefits include:
- Top-note booster
- Provides body & character
- Sweetness enhancer
- Off-note masker
- Fixative / Blender (Low-volatility base notes anchoring the profile over shelf life)
Applications:
- Thermal Process Recovery
- Natural Flvour Platforms
- Sweetness Modulation
