Lyon, FRANCE Dec. 3, 2019 --- Solvay is spearheading the switch to natural vanillin alternatives to satisfy the growing demand for true-to-nature products. To achieve this, Solvay has doubled its production capacity of Rhovanil® Natural Crystal White (CW) capacity to reach 120 metric tons.
Solvay’s Rhovanil® Natural CW offers the advantages of non-GMO products, derived from a unique bio-conversion process from natural ferulic acid. It is compliant with the European natural flavouring Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 and can be labelled as Natural flavouring or Natural Vanillin.
“At Solvay, we are committed to supporting the switch to natural ingredients. By doubling the production capacity of Rhovanil® Natural CW to 120 metric tons and aligning our production process with the National Organic Program requirements in the United States, we are responding to our customers’ global long-term natural growth needs. It also reflects Solvay’s environmental and socially conscious practices,” said Peter Browning, President of Solvay’s Aroma Performance Global Business Unit (GBU).
Rhovanil® Natural CW has a typical pure, sweet, long-lasting vanillin profile, key to formulating competitive and consistent natural vanilla flavors. Approved and used in a wide range of well-loved food brands, Rhovanil® Natural CW is the global solution for sustainable products that delight consumers.
