Special Technologies

Delivery systems

Agilex™ Flavors offers more than the standard compounding and blending technologies associated with flavor development. One of our strengths lies in flavor delivery systems for foods and beverages. Agilex is able to provide increased stability over standard powder techniques. Our proprietary Agilex process results in superior shelf life when compared to traditional systems.

We are able to offer you increased shelf life at costs that are much less than traditional spray drying.

Analytical strengths

State-of-the-art analytical instrumentation and isolation techniques are leveraged to support your flavor development. Whether it's using our gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GCMS) to analyze the individual components of a flavor, or applying sophisticated isolation techniques to separate the parts of a flavor, we are available to apply our analytical expertise to your flavor challenge.

Exceptional emulsion capabilities

Our laboratory and production scale homogenizers allow for linear and rapid production scale-up. Agilex employs a Beckman Coulter LS 230 Particle Counter for both exceptional quality control and product development for micron size viewing of the emulsions. We have a long history of success in creating heat-stable bakery emulsions for cakes, crackers and icings.

Masking capabilities

Today's functional foods may offer significant health benefits to consumers but they also offer significant flavor challenges. Bitterness, beaniness, and vitamin off-notes are common in foods that contain functional ingredients. Our knowledge of how to mask these types of healthy components will support your brand and be preferred by consumers. Because consumers aren't willing to sacrifice taste for health benefits, we are ready to work with you to overcome this challenge through the use of excellent masking flavors that will enhance your product.

Organic portfolio

Consumers are becoming more and more educated about health and environmental issues. Part of their concern is reflected in their choice of organic products that contain no artificial components as well as never having been exposed to pesticides and fungicides. Our broad portfolio of organic flavors is available to meet your needs for flavors that are not only delicious but also meet your regulatory constraints.

Sensational flavors

Now what about something different? Would flavor that contributes to a sensation be ideal for your brand? Do you need a flavor that also imparts a cooling sensation? And how about a flavor that gives a warming or a tingling sensation? Agilex has the flavors that achieve these tastes. Together, we can do the creative thinking and come up with something that will absolutely delight the consumer. We not only have a library of thousands of flavors but we can also custom create flavors for your particular needs.
