Aqueous Molecular Partitioning (AMP) Technology

What makes our extracts unique is our proprietary AMP technology. We apply this process to pure oils and oleoresins so that they can mix in water. This allows you to easily incorporate powerful extracts into your formulas without extra manufacturing steps or chemicals

The Food & Beverage Industry 
Is Changing... For Good

Don't let your brand be held back.

All of the market analysis data from 2021 - 2024 report the same key trends that are now reshaping the industry:

people want healthy, functional, and natural ingredients in their food & beverage products.

This growing movement is creating valuable opportunities for brands that are able to adapt,

but will be a disaster for brands who refuse to keep up.

Functional Foods

The link between good diet and good health is undeniable. Consumers are opting for food and beverage products that promise to deliver real health benefits through high quality ingredients. Our extracts retain the phytonutrients found in natural herbs, spices, fruits, and florals, and can help your brand deliver on all these promises.

International Flavors

The world is more globalized than ever, and consumer food trends are no exception. More and more, people are exploring exciting and exotic flavors from all over the globe. And as it turns out, they're really enjoying them. Chai is a perfect example of how a traditional spice blend from India has forever changed the menus of coffee shops and cafes, ever since it became popular in the US domestic beverage market.

Plant-Based Products

Products that can offer plant-based ingredients are often environmentally-friendly and sustainable. It's hard to find something more natural and sustainable than real herbs and spices. By using organic extract ingredients, your brands can stay plant-based without making compromises on functionality or flavor. 

Natural Ingredient Labels

Consumers want to be able to identify, understand, and pronounce the ingredients on a label. This is commonly referred to as "Clean Label" appeal. For example, compare "Methyl Salicylate" to "Organic Wintergreen Extract." Which one would you prefer to eat? When brands continue to hide what they put into their products by using "natural & artificial flavors" on labels, they're losing people's trust.
