The number of consumers moving towards vegetarian and vegan alternatives is growing, and plant-based products see unprecedented growth. When mimicking burger patties, consumers expect the product to have the same visual and organoleptic properties as real beef. Naturex, a part of Givaudan, can offer such solutions.
Naturex is a botanicals company that produces and sells plant extracts to the food industry for flavoring, coloring, or preservative purposes. The company is based in Avignon, France, with offices and production facilities across Europe and the United States, Canada, Brazil, Morocco, and India.
With over 25 years of experience in the plant world, Naturex extends the realm of possibilities by leveraging its sourcing network to access a wide variety of raw materials. The company’s botanical expertise across several markets and its global processing capabilities, according to Naturex, allow it to create unique, high-performance natural colors that benefit from a full array of plant properties.
