When the chemical aroma and flavoring industry first developed in the nineteenth century, flavor chemicals were initially produced by isolating them from natural sources. As the synthetic production of aroma chemicals became common practice over the years, this new branch of chemical specialties rapidly expanded into what is now a worldwide flavor and fragrance industry. Currently, this industry produces over 7 million tons of flavor and fragrance chemicals per year. Over the past decade, the industry has restructured and now includes approximately fifteen major companies that have emerged as dominant players in the flavor and fragrance industry worldwide, including Parchem – fine & specialty chemicals.
One of Parchem’s most requested flavor and fragrance products is anisic alcohol (CAS#: 105-13-5), also known as anisyl alcohol or 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol. Anisic alcohol is a commonly used flavor and fragrance additive in foods, beverages, and certain cosmetic products. It has a sweet yet savory aspect to it and is often used to impart a licorice/anise flavor. Another highly-demanded flavor and fragrance product is alpha terpineol (CAS#: 98-55-5). Alpha terpineol has a pleasant floral aroma, particularly of lilacs, and is commonly used in perfumes, cosmetics, and other flavors. Ethyl formate (CAS#: 109-94-4), also known as formyl ether, is another one of Parchem’s most frequently requested products; it is used to impart an ethereal, sweet, cognac-like character to foods, beverages, and perfume products.
Parchem is also a leading supplier of various natural flavoring agents such as fruit juice concentrates. Parchem supplies dark sweet cherry juice concentrate to food and beverage manufacturers all over the world. Parchem also supplies high quality juice concentrates like apple puree concentrate, black raspberry juice concentrate, and concentrates of other common fruits such aslemon, mango, orange, pineapple, plum, and pomegranate.
