Solving the citrus industry challenges
The citrus flavor industry is currently facing significant challenges due to factors like citrus greening, climate change, and competition for agricultural land. These issues have led to a decline in the quality, availability, and affordability of citrus ingredients, such as essential oils and orange juice. As a result, manufacturers are struggling to balance the cost and taste of their products, which rely heavily on these raw materials.
To address these challenges, Lallemand is developing innovative solutions that replicate the sensory characteristics of citrus ingredients using alternative sources. Biotechnology plays a crucial role in this effort by utilizing fermentation and other biotechnological processes to produce flavor compounds.
For example, nootkatone and valencene, two key components of citrus oils, can be created through these methods. Nootkatone provides a distinctive grapefruit-like aroma, while valencene offers a sweet, orange-like scent. These compounds help create authentic citrus profiles without relying on scarce natural resources, offering a more sustainable and cost-effective solution.
- Producing these compounds through biotechnology not only helps stabilize production costs but also ensures that consumers continue to enjoy the familiar flavors they expect.
- Biotechnology also allows Lallemand to produce specific flavor molecules with high precision, reducing environmental impact and enhancing the consistency of flavor profiles. This consistency is particularly important for global brands, which need to maintain the same taste experience across different markets.
- By leveraging these advanced techniques, the citrus flavor industry can better navigate the current market challenges and continue to deliver high-quality products to consumers.
Our Aroma Ingredients can be used alone or together: for example using Nootkatone and Valencene together can create an even more powerful and complex flavor profile, perfect for innovative food and beverage products.

Yeast-based flavor builders
We specialize in providing high-quality yeast-based ingredients, including yeast extracts, autolyzed yeast, and inactive yeast, that contribute to unique flavor characterization or serve as foundational elements for crafting complex savory profiles.
Yeast extracts, autolyzed yeast and inactive yeast are versatile ingredients that act as powerful flavor “building blocks” in food and flavors applications, helping to create more complex and layered taste profiles.
Our Savor-LyfeĀ® range includes both natural and non-natural yeast-based options. As definitions of ‘flavor’ and ‘natural flavor’ may vary across regions, we encourage reaching out to the regulatory team for guidance on compliance with local regulations.
