Solvay Aroma Performance is further expanding its comprehensive product portfolio offering the highest quality vanillin and functional vanilla flavors to fully natural flavors based on core patented technology and vanilla beans. At FiE in Paris the company launched two new natural flavor ranges marketed under the Vanifolia™ and Vanifolia™ Bean brands.

The new Vanifolia™ range of global natural flavors draws on Solvay‘s extensive experience in the formulation of vanilla flavors. It complements the Govanil™ functional vanilla flavors offering, introduced in 2012, and has been designed to provide specific organoleptic benefits in key global market segments such as nutrition, bakery premix, chocolate?/?confectionery and instant powder drink applications. The Vanifolia™ Bean range is derived from genuine vanilla beans and specifically allows in Europe a ‘Natural vanilla flavor‘ labeling.

In December 2016 Solvay opened of a new state-of-the-art vanillin manufacturing facility in Zhenjiang, China which complements Solvay‘s established sites in Saint-Fons, France, and Baton Rouge, United States. The new plant will boost the company‘s global Rhovanil® production capacity and strengthen its leading market position as a fully integrated aroma ingredients supplier, worldwide. As Solvay‘s Rhovanil® sites in France and the U.S., the new Chinese plant adheres to the company‘s ”Essence of Safety” motto, ensuring full traceability, maximum food safety and reliable security of supply.
