Our Aroma Ingredients

Valencene: The Essence of Orange

ValenceneĀ is an aroma compound which is responsible for the characteristic smell of oranges. Ā It is predominantly found in the peel of oranges and other citrus fruits like tangerines, clementines, and grapefruits. This compound is responsible for the sweet, fresh, and citrusy aroma that is characteristic of oranges. Valencene is not only valued for its pleasant scent but also for its versatility in various applications. It is used extensively in the flavor and fragrance industries to impart a citrusy note to products.Ā 

Addressing Challenges in the Citrus Industry

The citrus flavor industry is currently facing significant challenges, including citrus greening, climate change, and competition for agricultural land. These issues have led to a decline in the quality, consistency and availability of Valencene, complicating the balance between cost and taste for manufacturers.

Our Solution: Precision Fermentation

Lallemand is addressing these challenges by leveraging biotechnology to develop alternative sources that possess the sensory qualities of citrus ingredients. This approach ensures consistent, high-quality flavor compounds, supporting the industry’s sustainability and product excellence.

By producing Valencene through fermentation instead of extracting it from orange peel oil, our process enables large-scale production. This method ensures a highly reproducible, sustainable, and cost-effective product.

Key Benefits:

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Our Valencene offers the best value available in the market.
  • Availability: Our process eliminates shortages caused by weather conditions or crop cycles, ensuring a predictable and reliable supply chain.
  • Quality: We deliver consistent quality with no batch-to-batch variations or seasonal differences.
