Blue California announces natural flavour, fragrance portfolio sweet expansion

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 -- Blue California has announced the expansion of its natural flavour and fragrance portfolio of captive ingredients by producing a clean, sustainable nerolidol.

“Biotechnology is opening doors to sustainable ingredients that weren't previously possible,” said head of flavours and fragrances at Blue California, Kathy Oglesby.

“Our collaboration with innovation partner Conagen provides efficient and effective commercialisation, leading us to deliver to our client-creators a full range of captive ingredients, trademarked Plantarôme,™ for use in our flavours and fragrances.”

Nerolidol is found in many flowers and plants, particularly in Seville orange flower, also known as Neroli, which gives the aroma chemical its name.

It is recognised for its floral, woody aroma and can also be described as a fresh scent, blending well with citrus, apple, or rose but light enough to complement any type of scent or flavour. 

Nerolidol is therefore, ideal for use in many applications and known for its relaxing effects, according to a statement.

Nerolidol is first in a full range of natural ingredients in the 2022 pipeline of Blue California's Taste, Smell, and Beauty Division. Conagen develops one of the most high-yielding fermentation platforms for producing sesquiterpenes and lactones.

With its functional advantages in many industries due to its moderate polarity and optical activity, nerolidol is also a useful, sustainable fine chemical intermediate.
