Our Aroma Ingredients

Nootkatone: the Ingredient of Choice for the Flavor and Fragrance Industry

Nootkatone is a naturally occurring compound found in grapefruit, particularly in the peel. It is the primary compound responsible for the fruit’s distinctive, refreshing scent and slightly bitter taste. Beyond its role in flavor and fragrance, Nootkatone has garnered interest for its potential applications in various industries. It is used in perfumery, food & beverage flavoring, and even as a natural insect repellent due to its effectiveness against ticks and mosquitoes. 

By utilizing precision fermentation instead of traditional extraction from grapefruit skins, we can produce Nootkatone in large quantities. This method ensures a highly reproducible, contaminant-free, sustainable, and cost-effective product.
