Some flavors have easily recognized natural origins. For example, lemon, lime, orange and peppermint flavors come from the corresponding plant materials. But there are also flavors that don't come from a plant. Bubble gum, butterscotch and root beer flavors, for example, were designed by flavor chemists. Then there are numerous flavors that suggest different plant materials, but are usually artificial products.
Examples are grape, cherry and watermelon flavors.
Sometimes customers don't distinguish between these types of products, and they end up buying all their flavors or fragrances from the supplier that sells their artificial products. Buying an orange or lemon flavor from a flavor manufacturer is generally not cost effective, because the flavor manufacturer is usually just reselling essential oils, and taking a mark-up without adding value. We can supply custom-designed flavors and fragrances to suit virtually any customer need. But we also save customers money by insuring that products like lemon flavors are obtained from essential oil suppliers, not from companies whose primary business is to make custom-designed products. Our customers benefit because we know the best suppliers for each of their flavor and fragrance products.
