Sales of natural flavours in Western Europe are set to be overtaken by sales in the Asia-Pacific market within the next three years, according to market research firm RTS.
Launches over the last month include natural flavours for
confectionery from Wild, an egg substitute from Advanced Food
Systems to help save costs, and a new natural emulsifier from
National Starch.
Demand for nature-identical flavours in Central and Eastern Europe
(CEE) remains strong, as lower prices override the Western clamour
for all-things natural and organic, say exhibitors at FiCEE.
UK flavourings company Create Flavours is restructuring its
business to incorporate a division dedicated to the production of
natural flavours, adapting to the growing trend for clean-label
ingredients.
