Firmenich has recently launched Orange NextGen replacers and extenders, its natural alternative to FTNF (From The Named Fruit) orange oils, achieving identical orange flavors at significant economic benefit and ensuring sustainable supply to customers.
The global orange oil market has been under severe pressure and volatility in recent years due to crop shortages, poor fruit quality, climate and logistic challenges. To address these supply disruptions and meet the growing demand for orange citrus oils, Firmenich has developed a range of natural, high-performing Orange WONF (With Other Natural Flavors) solutions, achieving taste profiles identical to orange oils.
Sonia Botta, Firmenich’s Global Citrus VP said, “?A fundamental part of our commitment to being our client’s unrivaled Citrus Partner means providing great taste and consistent quality, together with supply stability. This is especially relevant in light of the continuing supply challenges facing the orange oil market. By leveraging our strong in-house citrus capabilities, advanced analytical expertise and deep understanding of natural molecules, our experienced Citrus Flavorists have masterfully created Orange NextGen replacers and extenders, allowing us to provide equivalent taste at cost competitiveness.”
Firmenich Orange NextGen has a wide variety of applications from waters, juices and alcoholic beverages to sweet goods and savory products, Firmenich’s Orange NextGen is designed to replace or extend orange oils, helping customers avoid product disruptions and delivering the same great flavor their consumers have grown to love.
Firmenich aims to expand its portfolio of citrus extenders and replacers to support its customers’ brand growth and product requirements. Firmenich is the world’s largest privately-owned fragrance and taste company with sales reaching CHF 4.9 billion (US$5.28 billion) in 2022.
