IFF launches culinary and sweet flavour creation labs in Denmark

Braband, Denmark – IFF has launched culinary and sweet flavour labs at its facility in Denmark where expert flavourists will create unique experiences for consumers in such areas as masking, sweetness and umami.

The company, which specializes in food and beverages, health, biosciences and scent, is adding the two labs to its 312,150-square-foot facility in operation since 1964.

The innovation hub is home to more than 400 employees engaged in research, application development, and ingredient and flavour creation. The expanded facility will enable local and regional manufacturers to work in close partnership with a new team of flavourists who will introduce the latest modulation technologies and develop solutions for the beverage, bakery, dairy, snacks, culinary, bars and confectionery end markets. Working with proprietary flavour ingredients they will create unique flavour experiences for consumers, especially in such areas as masking, sweetness and umami.

“This expanded facility is a testament to our continued investment in innovation to meet evolving consumer expectations,” said Jan Bechtel, regional president of Nourish Europe, IFF. “We will continue to build on our deep expertise and scientific knowledge and invest in tools and products to bring what matters most to consumers in the market: creating the next generation of delicious, healthy and experiential food and beverages.”
