EARTHOIL OFFERS CHERRY SEED OIL FOR FINER COMPLEXIONS 

A new medical programme sponsored by the Earthoil Organic Farms Foundation (EOFF) has successfully diagnosed and treated significant numbers of polio and cataract patients within its farming communities in Uttar Pradesh, Northern India. A supplier of organic, fair trade certified oils to the flavour and fragrance industries, Earthoil India Pvt Ltd is supporting regular free medical camps to aid local villagers in the company’s mint growing regions around Bareilly.

Over nine years, Earthoil India has grown steadily from 200 to 600 small-scale farmers. The Earthoil Mint Growers Project received fair trade status from the IMO (Institute of Marketecology) at its inception in 2003. Formed to manage and develop the sourcing of organic products, Earthoil India has grown to become a major supplier of organic and fair trade peppermint, cornmint (arvensis) and spearmint oils, menthol, rectified arvensis oil plus dementholised arvensis oil. These mint oils are suited for applications in a range of food and personal care products, including chewing gum, hard and soft mints and chocolate, toothpaste and mouthwash.

Treatt, the manufacturer and supplier of conventional, organic and fair trade ingredients for the flavour, fragrance and cosmetic industries announces that Tim Jones will be appointed as a Non-executive Director and Chairman of the Company, with effect from the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting on 27th February 2012. Tim will succeed James Grace, whose retirement was announced on 4th October 2011.

Tim currently holds the position of CEO and Secretary of the social finance charity Allia (formerly Citylife) and its Enterprise Agency offshoot, Future Business, having gained board experience as Managing Director of Strategic Trade & Distribution in Belgrade (1996-2002) and Fraser-Milne (1990-1996), a private company developing water treatment technology. Tim started his career in the insurance industry, later moving into investment management and is an Associate and Fellow of a number of professional organisations.

Commenting on Tim’s appointment Hugo Bovill, Managing Director of Treatt, said "I would like to welcome Tim to Treatt. He has considerable business experience which will be a great benefit to the Company".

Treatt confirms that there is no information to be disclosed under the requirements of Listing Rule 9.6.13 in relation to this appointment.

The Board of Treatt also announces that Anita Haines, Executive Director, has informed the Board of her intention to retire from the Company in February 2014, in accordance with the two year notice period provided in her service contract.

IS JUST-IN-TIME ALWAYS ENOUGH?

Assessing the impact of a Just-in-time production strategy and its current effect on the flavour industry

The past two years will certainly go down as some of the most challenging in history for the flavour industry.  The impact of global natural disasters – earthquakes in Haiti, Japan and Indonesia, floods in Northern India and a drought in Brazil, for example – have contributed to significant raw material shortages. 

Limited supply is naturally affecting those producers who have chosen to adopt a just-in-time production strategy. But how exactly is this effect felt and does this have an impact on the rest of the industry?  In the following article, Hugo Bovill, managing director, Treatt plc, considers just-in-time manufacturing and the reasons why it finds favour with many. He also examines the effect it has on the remainder of the supply chain and the impact it is currently having on the flavour industry as a whole.

Just-in-time manufacturing explained

A just-in-time (JIT) production strategy aims to improve a business’s return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and the associated carrying costs.  The basic principle behind JIT is that inventory is waste – it is seen as incurring costs, or waste, rather than adding and storing value. Implemented correctly, JIT focuses on continuous improvement and can increase a manufacturing organisation’s return on investment while also enhancing quality and efficiency.

In short, the just-in-time approach focuses on having “the right material, at the right time, at the right place and in the exact amount”. The benefits of this strategy are clear and offer obvious advantages for the producer – he must only carry enough inventory to meet his requirements, and he reduces his costs as there is no storage requirement for excess product. He also does not have to tie up significant amounts of working capital in stock during financially challenging times.

Despite these positives, the question that inevitably arises when considering the JIT production strategy, however, is ‘Is there a situation when it isn’t the most suitable approach? And can a JIT manufacturing strategy in fact lead to serious disadvantages for the producer and customer?’ The answer may lie in other external factors influencing an industry at a particular time.

Let’s consider the key factors currently affecting the flavour industry and the impact they are currently having on just-in-time manufacturing strategies. 

Worldwide shortages

An unprecedented number of natural disasters over the past couple of years – forest fires, earthquakes, floods and mudslides, to name just a few – have affected every region of the world. This has had a severe impact on crops, which, in turn, has reduced the availability of some raw materials. And, where availability may not always be affected, the quality of raw materials is, which means they are unsuitable for use and samples are rejected.

In addition to the limited availability of raw materials thanks to these natural influences, the industry has also felt the effect of a stop-start purchasing trend among buyers. As with the majority of sectors, the flavour industry was unable to avoid the impact of the global economic downturn. Customers began to fear that the economy was slowing to a stop and, as a result, ceased buying raw materials. Chemical plants subsequently closed and farmers planted fewer crops through lack of confidence so there were fewer materials available to purchase. However, when demand started to increase once again, buyers rushed to secure supplies causing immediate shortages.

These factors combined highlight a potentially negative impact of a JIT manufacturing approach.  Reduced raw material availability, coupled with a reluctance to hold inventory because of its associated costs and the lack of financial credit offered to suppliers, has lowered the amount of ‘buffer’ stock held within that chain.  So, if a manufacturer does not hold enough of a particular product to satisfy a customer order, he or the customer must look elsewhere.  This contributes to longer lead times between supplier and customer – up to ten weeks in some cases – which disrupts the speed and efficiency of the supply chain.

Increased volatility

The stop-start purchasing trend also exposes the pricing of these materials to greater volatility and increased influence by manufacturers and speculators who do hold stock. It therefore becomes much more difficult to forecast the price of raw materials, causing purchasers to be cautious when it comes to buying them.

On top of this, the limited availability of crops means that suppliers of raw materials are both reluctant and often unable to commit to contracts even at open prices.  This means that they have no obligation to their customers – the flavour manufacturers – despite previous sales or historical relationships. At the same time, however, this lack of contract ensures that the manufacturers have no commitments or obligations to their suppliers should the price of the raw material fall.

Strict shipping regulations

Lower available stock levels are further exacerbated by a lengthening of the time it now takes to move goods to suppliers following lot sample approval or other confirmations. High fuel prices have resulted in a reduction in the fleet size of ocean-going vessels and a fleet-wide go slow is also in force to maximise fuel economy.  In addition, far stricter controls relating to the appropriate shipping of hazardous goods is contributing to an overall slowdown in the arrival of materials.

Too high a price to pay?

Although a just-in-time manufacturing strategy offers clear benefits, its effectiveness does depend on other factors influencing an industry at any given time. For a just-in-time manufacturing strategy to be effective, it requires a level of price stability in the market, consistent material quality and availability plus a relatively steady demand.  Flavour ingredient producers at source cannot offer such guarantees. Manufacturers should therefore adapt their strategies to accommodate the challenging times ahead to ensure continuity of supply and support the industry’s continued recovery.

Treatt, leading flavour and fragrance ingredients supplier, has released its new Watermelon Extra 9728 Treattarome^®, a 100% natural, FTNF (From The Named Food) clear distillate delivering a fruity, juicy character with balanced flowery and fruity backend notes. Wholly distilled from the watermelon species Citrullus lanatus, Watermelon Extra 9728 has been specially developed to deliver a riper flavour, bringing a more leafy, fruity, pulpy, mouthfeel than its complementary flavour Watermelon 9724, which carries a more rindy, strong flowery front end.

Using Treatt’s specialised technology, the clear distillate is produced directly from the fresh fruit. With volatile collection under high vacuum, the absence of extended heat processing ensures that there are no flavour artefacts introduced during the preparation of this rich watermelon Treattarome. Watermelon Extra 9728 delivers backend flavour characteristics which prolong the well rounded watermelon aroma. Used at a level of 0.1%, the water‑soluble essence brings an intense melon character, with fruity and estery as the sole flavouring. At lower levels of 0.01% or less, it is particularly effective in combination with other Treattaromes and Treatt citrus specialties to deliver delicate watermelon notes.

With no added preservatives or antioxidants, this clean label extract is stable over 6 months when chilled, making it highly suitable for creating cost-effective, luscious, clear beverages with exotic, tropical hints.

The launch of Watermelon Extra 9728 Treattarome further extends the company’s Treattarome portfolio of natural distillates. Other flavours available in the range include hibiscus, spearmint and ginger.  

Treatt, a leading flavor and fragrance ingredients supplier, has launched TreattSweet, which improves the sweetness and transforms the flavor of products sweetened with Stevia and other sweeteners.

Treatt, a leading flavor and fragrance ingredients supplier, has launched Hibiscus Treattarome® 9766 to bring natural, exotic flavor and clarity to the beverages industry. Hibiscus flavors are often associated with adding red colouration to products, from pale pink hues to strong reds. Hibiscus Treattarome 9766 delivers a water white flavor, without the typical bright red color, allowing flavorists to use this herb creatively in new beverage blends.

Across the world Hibiscus is appreciated as a non-caffeinated tisane and used in combination with other teas, it creates a blend known as “red zinger”. Whole hibiscus flowers have a slightly sour, fruity flavor and are full of vitamin C. Hibiscus Treattarome 9766 delivers a well-balanced, cranberry aroma and a mildly astringent flavor.

The Treattarome is produced from the calyx of Hibiscus sabdariffa by using Treatt’s specialised distillation technology to obtain the maximum flavor with minimum processing intervention. There is no oil or alcohol added and the resulting distillate is both clear and soluble in water. Used at levels of 0.2%, Hibiscus Treattarome 9766 imparts a strong berry like character with a fresh leafy topnote. This fruity, floral scent of hibiscus is due to components including hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, cis-3-hexenol, nonanal, furfural, eucalyptol, linalool oxides, linalool, and alpha-terpineol.

Hibiscus Treattarome 9766 contains no preservatives or antioxidants and when chilled is stable for six months. This 100% natural, FTNF (From The Named Food) distillate carries a clean label declaration and is listed as a food ingredient by the USFDA (21 CFR 172.510). It is suitable for a number of applications including beverages, dairy, alcoholic drinks, juices and juice drinks.

The launch of Hibiscus Treattarome 9766 further extends the company’s Treattarome portfolio of natural distillates. Other flavors available in the range include watermelon, spearmint and ginger.

 

Treatt, the manufacturer and supplier of conventional, organic and fair trade ingredients for the flavour, fragrance and cosmetic industries announces that it has appointed Dr David Johnston as a Non-executive Director of the Company with effect from 20 May 2011.

David has a PhD in Biochemistry and has worked for Firmenich, one of the leading global flavour and fragrance companies for over 10 years in a variety of roles, most recently as Vice President of Innovation and Design, developing new technologies, with responsibility for the development and implementation of global strategy.  David has a strong understanding of the industry and has known Treatt for over ten years.

Earthoil Plantations, together with its parent company, Treatt plc, has launched an exciting new range of reduced furanocoumarin citrus oils, developed specifically for use in fragrance and cosmetic applications. Consisting of bergamot, lemon, lime and grapefruit options, this range of oils enables perfumers to use citrus oils creatively without exceeding furanocoumarin limits permitted in consumer products.

Consumers today have a conscience. Natural, organic, ethical and sustainable have become everyday vocabulary. This indicates significant potential for food and beverage manufacturers who are both keen to employ more ethical practices and capitalize on this growing market, as well as for fragrances. The flavor industry in particular, which is continually in pursuit of unusual and exotic flavors to meet consumer demand, frequently sources its ingredients from the developing regions at the centre of the fair trade debate.

Spearmint Treattarome™ 9764 is the latest innovation from global flavour ingredient specialist Treatt. Offering fresh, leafy green flavours and imparting distinct Mojito-like topnotes, Spearmint Treattarome 9764 provides flavourists and manufacturers with a sweeter alternative to conventional spearmint oil.

Wholly distilled from Mentha spicata, Spearmint Treattarome 9764 is a 100% natural FTNF (From The Named Food) clear distillate. It delivers the aroma impact of freshly crushed native spearmint leaves, reminiscent of the classic Mojito drink, while also conferring a refreshing candy-like spearmint flavour. Entirely water soluble, this water-white high impact distillate is particularly suitable for clear beverage applications plus juices, dairy drinks and alcoholic beverages.

Spearmint Treattarome 9764 can also be used at varying dosage levels to achieve different flavour profiles. At 0.20%, for example, it provides a strong spearmint character with a fresh Mojito topnote, while at a lower dose of 0.0025%, a cooler, more refreshing flavour is the result.

This is the latest addition to Treatt’s extensive range of Treattarome FTNF water soluble distillates. Produced using a short duration, low temperature distillation process, this method ensures the distillate retains the character of the original, fresh food.

Treatt plc, stand 280-281, World Perfumery Congress, 1 – 4 June 2010, Cannes

Global flavour ingredients supplier, Treatt plc, has expanded its range of nature-identical speciality chemical products for the formulation of savoury flavours.  FEMA accredited, these latest additions to Treatt's portfolio add high impact top notes to the flavour profile of an array of finished foods. They confer an authentic and well-rounded aroma and can be incorporated at varying intensity levels depending on the desired impact.

Providing a roasted meaty odour, reminiscent of roast beef, 2,4,6-Trimethyldihydro-4H-1,3,5-dithiazine is found naturally occurring in squid, fried chicken, clam and peanut butter. It can be used at different dosage levels depending on the application. In snacks or sauces, for example, a dosage of 3-6ppm delivers a rich, meat flavour, while an intense aroma can be achieved in soups and seasonings at levels of 4-8ppm. Flavours for oils and fats require a dosage of 0.35-3.5ppm.  2,4,6-Trimethyldihydro-4H-1,3,5-dithiazine is also approved for use in China, Japan, Korea, Russia and Europe, which further enhances its global appeal.

Other products in the range include 2,4,5-Trimethyloxazole, a nutty option with green fruit tones which delivers an earthy potato-like and mushroom flavour, and 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydroquinoxaline which occurs in coffee and roast nuts and imparts a cheesy odour in bread, cheese and meat flavours. And, for tropical flavours, 2-(Methylthio)ethyl acetateis contributes tones of mustard, horseradish and wasabi at dosages between 0.01 and 5ppm.

Treatt offers over 300 speciality chemical top notes, including pyrazines, thiazoles and other sulphur, nitrogen and oxygen heterocyclic chemicals, manufactured by Endeavour Specialty Chemicals.

Organic oil specialist, Earthoil, has announced it will start a gradual transfer of its operations from Lichfield to Bury St Edmunds.

Global flavour and fragrance ingredient specialist, Treatt plc, has launched an exciting new range of reduced furanocoumarin citrus oils, developed specifically for use in fragrance and cosmetic applications. Consisting of bergamot, lemon, lime and grapefruit options, this range of oils enables perfumers to use citrus oils creatively without exceeding furanocoumarin limits permitted in consumer products.

Treatt’s natural oils capture the characteristics of cold pressed oils whilst containing very low levels of furanocoumarins. Believed to cause allergic skin reactions, furanocoumarins are a class of organic chemical compounds from natural sources. The furanocoumarin content in cold pressed citrus oils has been a focus for the fragrance and cosmetics industry for some time. Treatt has used its expertise and proprietary technology to achieve a limited content of these particular molecules, broadening the possibilities for perfumers to incorporate true citrus aromas into their products.

Each product in the range confers an authentic aroma to a variety of cosmetic applications. The low furanocoumarin lemon oil, for example, demonstrates some herbal, green characteristics alongside the distinctive odour of fresh lemon peel, while the bergamot oil provides a rich, fruity and sweet cologne top note. Low furanocoumarin grapefruit oil is full and zesty, and the tangy lime oil is particularly suited for use in fragrances.

Organic versions of Treatt’s reduced furanounarin citrus oils are scheduled for launch in the coming months.

These oils are the latest addition to Treatt’s range of ingredients for the cosmetic market. These include chamomile oil, raspberry fragrance oil, organic Eartholates and a variety of low-allergen products.

Treatt plc, leading independent flavor and fragrance ingredient specialist, has unveiled the latest launches in its innovative, 100% natural Treattarome® range of clear distillates. Black Raspberry Treattarome 9846, Marionberry Treattarome 9848, Pear Treattarome 9870 and Papaya Treattarome 9835 are the most recent additions to Treatt’s expanding range of FTNF (From The Named Food) flavor ingredients. These new varieties offer flavorists added versatility to incorporate both unusual and traditional fruit flavors in a wide range of applications.

 
Black Raspberry Treattarome 9846 is wholly distilled from black raspberries, Rubus leucodermis or Rubus occidentalis, and delivers an authentic and well-rounded black raspberry character. The product provides a full black raspberry flavor profile with fruity and estery notes followed by a distinct, seedy character. Varying dosage levels are possible. At 0.1%, for example, it delivers an intense, seedy black raspberry character – fresh, creamy, floral, berry-like notes and fruity as a sole flavoring. At 0.05% or less, it confers a fruity, berry-like character with seedy undertones, which is excellent for fruit drinks.
 
A cross between Chehalem and Olallieberry blackberries, Marionberry captures the best attributes of both berries and yields an aromatic bouquet with an intense blackberry flavor. Distilled wholly from Rubus Eubatus cultivars (minimum 90% Marionberry), Marionberry Treattarome 9848 delivers a unique and complex flavor profile with an underlying earthiness, hints of sweetness and a lively tartness.
 
Pear Treattarome 9870 is distilled from European pears, Pyrus communis. From the fruit ester top notes to the warm succulent back notes, this essence provides a complete, well-rounded and fruity pear flavor to a wide range of applications, including beverages, dairy products and desserts.
 
Imparting an authentic papaya flavor to many food systems, Papaya Treattarome 9835 confers a tropical, fruity top note with a contrasting acid aroma for an authentic, full-bodied papaya profile.
 
All ingredients in the Treattarome range are extracted using Treatt’s specialized, proprietary technology to ensure maximum flavor entrapment. The resulting products are water white, high impact distillates which are entirely water soluble. Treattarome flavor ingredients are suitable for a multitude of applications including beverages, alcoholic drinks, dairy and confectionery products.
 
The latest launches complement the growing selection of products in the Treattarome range, including Cherry Treattarome Sweet 9850, Cherry Treattarome Sour 9851 and Apricot Treattarome 9853, launched earlier this year.

Joseph S. Tomusange, REACH coordinator, Treatt plc

With first pre-registration fast approaching, manufacturers and suppliers of chemical substances are bracing themselves for the impact of REACH – the new chemical regulation introduced by the European Union.

Described in some quarters as possibly the most complex set of regulations issued by an international organisation, REACH may appear to be a minefield for those it affects. With so many factors to consider, the challenge for companies is gaining a thorough understanding of the implications that REACH will have on their business activities.

Here, Treatt provides a step-by-step guide on the scope of REACH regulation. The company offers insights from an EU-based company’s perspective, presents key considerations and helpful hints to get prepared for REACH. It demonstrates that with careful planning and preparation, REACH is not the daunting task it may seem.

REACH explained
REACH – the Registration, Evaluation, and Authorisation (and Restriction) of Chemicals – is the new European Union regulation which came into force on 1 June 2007. It replaces a number of European directives and regulations with a single system. It will apply to European chemical companies who manufacture and/or import chemicals substances into the EU in quantities of more than one tonne per legal entity.

The new regulation aims to generate data on the effects of chemical substances so that they may be used safely. Manufacturers and importers who place chemicals on the market will now be responsible for understanding and managing the risks associated with their use. This should result in a more innovative and competitive European chemical industry that also encourages the substitution of toxic chemicals with safer alternatives.

The key element of REACH regulation is the requirement for manufacturers or importers of chemicals to register them with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). A registration dossier will be supported by a standard data set on that substance. However, the data requirement for each substance will be dependent on the amount that is manufactured or supplied and the toxicity of the substance. So, the largest volume and most toxic substances will require the most data for their registration dossiers. If chemicals are not pre-registered and then registered; then there will no longer be able to market the substance.

Breadth of REACH
It cannot be denied that REACH regulation is extremely complex. A huge number of substances used in the flavour and fragrance industry will be affected by the new regulation. These include fragrance ingredients (eg aroma chemicals, essential oils and natural extracts), flavours in oral care products (eg mint oils), flavours in tobacco and isolated intermediates. There are some exclusions – substances deemed generally safe (eg water, corn oil), preparations (mixtures of substances / blends), flavour and food ingredients and additives, pharmaceutical ingredients and nonisolated intermediates. Essential oils and natural extracts are only included if they are used as flavour or fragrance ingredients in cosmetics.

D-days
With estimates showing around 30,000 substances supplied in quantities of one tonne or more per year on the European market, registering these items presents a significant challenge. To facilitate the process, the first phase is a pre-registration phase which provides companies with a six month window (from 1 June until 1 December 2008) to submit a limited amount of data to the ECHA. By submitting data within this period, companies will be able to benefit from the staggered registration periods set in REACH for phase-in substances.

The pre-registration phase is also in place to allow companies that manufacture or import the same substances to form groups or SIEF (substance information exchange forums) where data is shared to avoid duplication during the registration process.

Here, participants must agree on the classification and labelling of their substances. They must provide other participants with existing research, respond to information requests and collectively identify the need for future studies and arrange for them to be carried out.  This is followed by registration, where manufacturers and importers submit information dossiers on substances to the ECHA. Registration is based on two parameters: quantity and toxicity. The timeframe for the process from pre-registration to the final phases of registration is a decade.

These initial deadlines have been set to ensure the most frequently-used and most toxic substances are assessed in the first phase. The substances and dossiers are then evaluated by the ECHA to confirm reliability of all submitted data and authorised for specified use. To place substances with properties that are deemed to be of “very high concern” on the market, an authorisation process must be applied for by 1 June 2009. A company wishing to market or use such a substance must submit an application to the ECHA. Authorisation is then decided by the European authorities.

Getting ready for REACH
Once the full scope of REACH has been understood, it is essential to assess the implications for product portfolios. A key consideration will be the potential need for reformulation – some substances may become unavailable if suppliers are unable to comply with the regulation.

Treatt’s range of products, for example, can be divided into three groups: essential oils and extracts, aroma chemicals and blends (or preparations as they are described in REACH). Each will be treated differently under REACH regulation.

Essential oils and extracts
By far the most complicated category, essential oils and extracts are referred to as Natural Complex Substances (NCS) within the industry or Substances of Unknown or Variable composition (UVCBs) under REACH. Many of these substances are imported into the EU in quantities greater than one tonne per year. The challenge for this category is that many of these substances have been used for hundreds of years, and as a result are generally recognised as safe. This means that the necessary test data has never been generated. Therefore, many companies possess the physicochemical data but lack testing facilities to produce the required human and environmental exposure data. The European Flavour & Fragrance Association and the European Federation of Essential Oils have formulated a plan to assist the industry in preparing for the registration of Natural Complex Substances. This is primarily through the formation of pre-consortia which pre-empt the substance information exchange forum described in the regulation. For the highest priority aroma chemicals and naturals, namely those requiring registration in 2010, this process has already started.

Aroma chemicals
Aroma chemicals can be considered ‘well defined substances’ – substances with a defined qualitative and quantitative composition that can be sufficiently identified based on the required identification parameters. Initial assessments have indicated that for importers and distributors of these substances, like Treatt, much of the required data is already available or will become available through data sharing.

However, assessment of volumes and supply lines will be necessary to determine which substances importers will need to register.

Preparations or blends
Although preparations or blends do not need to be registered under REACH, companies must record the substances in these preparations which are present in quantities greater than one tonne per year.

Implications for the supply chain
The impact of REACH will be felt throughout the supply chain. From raw material suppliers to end product manufacturers, everyone will be affected by the new regulation. Suppliers in the EU, for example, will now be assessed differently to those outside the EU who have no registration obligations. Suppliers outside the EU cannot register for REACH directly. They can, however, opt to nominate an ‘only representative’ – an EU-based representative of a non-EU manufacturer. Appointing an ‘only representative’, allows manufacturers to participate in the REACH process and ensures that they will be able to market their product directly in the EU. It also has advantages for EU importers. They are spared the task of registering the product under REACH and will be regarded as a downstream user.

Throughout the REACH process, customer needs should remain paramount. To maintain optimum customer service, Treatt, for example, has appointed a dedicated co-ordinator for REACH-related matters to respond to all customer and supplier queries. This contact is an in-house expert on the regulations, providing support to the technical, sales and purchasing teams on REACH-related matters, and assisting senior management in developing a company action plan.

The three Cs
Those affected by REACH should consider the three Cs when implementing an action plan – communication, confidentiality and costs.  Communication is key. REACH preparation will rely on effective communication between sales, purchasing and regulatory departments. It will involve extensive training, data collection and migration. The finance department will also need to ensure sufficient funds are in place for testing, compensation of existing data holders and the registration process.

Secondly, confidentiality will be an issue with so much dialogue between different members of the supply chain. According to REACH, any details that undermine commercial interests will not be passed on but information relating to safety will never be confidential.

Finally, the costs of compliance will be significant. The authorities are making concessions mindful of the number of SMEs that will be affected. However, there will be financial implications at every stage of REACH that must be considered carefully.

Some of these costs may have to be passed along the supply chain, making it essential to keep abreast of any product margin developments that are business critical.

Summary
There is no doubt that REACH will have a huge impact on the European chemical industry. In fact, it has already had a huge affect on the flavour and fragrance industry; many competitors are finding ways to work together to reach a common goal.

However, despite its challenges, the regulation will offer significant benefits, improving safety and preserving the environment. With careful and advanced preparation, companies can ensure they comply with REACH and continue to run their business effectively and efficiently.

Treatt plc, the independent flavour and fragrance specialist, has expanded its 100% natural, FTNF Treattarome® range with the launch of the Green Tea Treattarome® 9767. Wholly distilled from green tea (Camellia sinensis), Green Tea Treattarome 9767 provides a well-rounded, full green tea flavour, with a fresh and green front end, finishing with the characteristic flavour that defines green tea.

Green Tea Treattarome 9767 is the result of extensive research and product trials. It is extracted from green tea using Treatt’s specialist, propriety technology. The freshly brewed, hay-like front end and typical green tea finish means Green Tea Treattarome 9767 can be used as the sole ingredient in ready-to-drink (RTD) tea. At lower doses it can provide a hint of green tea aroma to beverages, alcoholic drinks, dairy products and confectionery. It also lends itself to a range of fragrance applications, including cosmetics and perfumes.

As the tea leaves are already brewed, Green Tea Treattarome 9767 offers manufacturers major cost and time savings. It also reduces the clouding and sediment traditionally associated with RTD tea. Manufacturers also benefit from its compatibility with colouring agents, antioxidants and preservatives, and the fact that it provides easier handling than traditional tea powders.

The latest addition to the Treatt portfolio fits with the soaring popularity of green tea products amongst consumers. 

Green Tea Treattarome 9767 compliments Treatt’s popular range of natural distillates, which already includes Tea Treattarome - Iced 9765, Black Tea Treattarome – Light 9760 and Black Tea Treattarome – Brewed 9761.

Global, independent flavour ingredient specialist, Treatt plc, has launched Habanero Pepper Treattarome® 9815. This latest addition to Treatt’s expanding range of 100% natural Treattarome ingredients is wholly distilled from fresh, top-grade habanero peppers, the hottest chilli pepper variety in the world. Beyond its piquancy, Habanero Pepper Treattarome 9815 offers flavourists an unusual and complex flavour profile suitable for a variety of applications.

 
Using specialist, proprietary technology, Treatt ensures maximum flavour extraction, capturing the habanero flavour without the heat usually associated with capsicum. Developers can therefore incorporate an authentic, well-rounded pepper flavour while controlling spice levels to suit their requirements. Dosage levels can also be varied to suit diverse flavour profiles. At 0.1%, for example, it offers an intense fresh, fruity habanero flavour, while at 0.01% or less, deep roasted pepper flavours can be achieved, which is enhanced by general tropical notes.
 
With spicy sauces becoming increasingly popular, successful applications for Habanero Pepper Treattarome 9815 include salsas and pepper sauces. However, with its tropical fruit front-end flavours, it is also an interesting addition to beverages.
 
Habanero Pepper Treattarome 9815 compliments the diverse range of savoury Treattarome products, which includes roasted red pepper, watercress, celery and green bell pepper varieties.

Treatt plc, the world-leading, independent flavour and fragrance ingredient specialist, has launched Strawberry Treattarome™ 9855.  This latest addition to Treatt’s portfolio of FTNF (From the Named Food) clear distillates is wholly distilled from strawberries and imparts an authentic, fresh, fruity and well-rounded strawberry flavour to many food systems.

100% natural and water-soluble, Strawberry Treattarome 9855 is suitable for clear beverages, juices, alcoholic drinks and dairy products such as smoothies and ice creams. When used in all applications, Strawberry Treattarome 9855 provides fresh, creamy top notes with a ripe, fruity and seedy back-end for a full-bodied strawberry profile. 

Strawberry Treattarome can be used at varying dosage levels depending on the desired level of flavour intensity.  At 0.10%, for example, an in-depth

berry-like, fruity, tart character typical of strawberries predominates while at lower dosage levels, balanced, green and estery notes are in evidence.

The Treattarome range is produced using a short duration, low temperature distillation process.  This ensures maximum flavour entrapment, maintaining the character of the fresh food.   Strawberry Treattarome 9855 complements Treatt’s existing portfolio of berry distillates, which includes raspberry and blueberry varieties.

Global flavour and fragrance ingredients specialists, Treatt plc, has expanded its innovative range of 100% natural, high impact distillates with the launch of Cocoa Treattarome™ Dark 9900.  This latest addition to the Treatt portfolio offers a well rounded, organic cocoa flavour to food and beverage systems.

Wholly distilled from cocoa (Theobroma Cacao), Cocoa Treattarome Dark 9900 delivers an authentic chocolate character with a creamy, nutty front end with powdered cocoa, white chocolate notes and a dark roasted finish. This is achieved through Treatt’s specialist manufacturing techniques which ensure maximum flavour extraction. Also, there is no extended heat processing which leads to lower flavour artefacts. Cocoa Treattarome Dark 9900 contains esters of acetic acid, a variety of pyrazines, 2-heptanone, 2-heptanol, phenyl acetaldehyde, Benzaldehyde and phenyl ethyl acetate.

Depending on the desired flavour profile, Cocoa Treattarome Dark 9900 can be used at varying dosage levels.  For example, at 0.1% as a sole flavouring, it offers an intense chocolate character, while at 0.05% or less, a mild, creamy cocoa aroma is produced.

Cocoa Treattarome Dark 9900 is entirely water soluble and particularly suitable for clear beverages, alcoholic drinks, juices and dairy products.  The relatively high levels of isoamyl acetate, methyl, tetra methyl, ethyl and numerous substituted pyrazines in cocoa mean it blends well with banana and other flavours used in beverages and milk shakes.

Treatt plc, the global flavour ingredients specialist, has expanded its range of FTNF (From The Named Food) Treattarome® products with the launch of Sugar Treattarome 9807. Wholly distilled from cane sugar (Saccharum officinarum), Sugar Treattarome 9807 imparts an authentic, sweet flavour to a variety of food and drink systems without adding sugar, calories, protein or colour.

100% natural and sugar-free, Sugar Treattarome 9807 is a clear, water-white distillate developed using Treatt’s propriety technology.  It is entirely water soluble and therefore particularly suitable for clear beverages, sodas and alcoholic drinks, including diet varieties, plus dairy products.  When used in these applications, Sugar Treattarome 9807 adds a slight brown sugar, smoky and creamy flavour impression, while at the same time enhancing the delicate sweet and savoury notes.  It works in synergy with artificial sweeteners where it is effective in masking the harsh character that these additives often bring.

Sugar Treattarome 9807 can be used in varying dosages depending on the flavour impact required. At 0.15%, it gives a sweet, smooth character, while at levels of 0.005% or less, a strong impact in high strength flavour blends is provided.

Sugar Treattarome 9807 is the latest in the Treattarome range of unique FTNF water-soluble distillates.  Produced using a short duration, low temperature distillation process, this method ensures the distillate retains the character of the original, fresh food.

Climate change and its impact on the essential oil industry

The last 100 years have seen a man walk on the moon, previously fatal diseases treated and, thanks to developments in mobile communications, instant global communication at one’s fingertips. Yet, despite numerous technological advances, one element remains beyond human control — the weather.

Global flavour ingredients specialists Treatt plc has extended its tropical Treattarome™ range with the launch of Mango Treattarome 9830. This latest addition to Treatt’s portfolio of 100% natural FTNF (From The Named Food) products is wholly distilled from fresh, tree-ripened mangoes and enables the creation of long-lasting, creamy, sweet mango flavours. Successful applications already include tropical fruit blends, clear beverages, ices and ice cream.
With more than 100 varieties of mangoes grown commercially worldwide, the mango is known to have many differing flavour characteristics. Some varieties have a fairly neutral or non-specific flavour and are cultivated principally for the colour and consistency of their flesh. Treatt’s selection of a single variety with a powerful and complex taste, enables it to produce a universally recognisable mango FNTF distillate, which is also consistent in its flavour profile. This is achieved through Treatt’s innovative and specialist technology.

The distillate contains high levels of fruity esters and lactones, plus spicy terpenes, underplayed with several sugary / caramel-like furanones. Mango Treattarome 9830 can be used at varying dosage levels, depending on the flavourist’s requirements and the degree of flavour intensity required. Mango Treattarome 9830 is effective, for example, either as a top note to enhance an existing flavour or to provide the main body of the flavour. At 0.1% an intense mango character predominates, whilst at levels of 0.05% or less, it imparts fresh, spicy, tropical notes, which is particularly effective when combined with fruit juices.

The Treattarome range of FTNF, water-soluble distillates are produced using a short duration, low temperature distillation process, which ensures maximum flavour entrapment, maintaining the character of the fresh food. Mango Treattarome 9830 complements Treatt’s existing portfolio of tropical flavour ingredients, which include guava, kiwi, banana, passion fruit and watermelon.

Treatt plc, stand 280, World Perfumery Congress, Cannes, 1 –5 June 2004

Leading fragrance ingredients specialist Treatt plc will be presenting a selection of products from its extensive portfolio at this year’s World Perfumery Congress in Cannes.  Highlights will include citrus and non-citrus oils, natural innovative fractions, the Treattarome™ range, Treattarome™ derivatives and various specialty chemicals. Of particular interest are a number of new fragrance ingredients shown for the first time at WPC.  These include the lemon and lime HV products as well as nitrogen and sulphur chemicals such as 2-Methyl-4-propyl-1,3-oxathiane with its distinctive passion fruit characteristics.

In view of recent legislation issues in Europe, Treatt’s new low allergen fragrance ingredients will be a key focus at the show.  Developed using the company’s manufacturing and fractionation expertise, the range includes orange, lavender and petitgrain products.

Treatt's distillation skills will be further demonstrated by its HV products, in particular the lemon and lime varieties.

Treatt plc, stand M884, Food Ingredients Europe 2003, Messe Frankfurt, Germany

18 – 20 November 2003

Visitors on the lookout for savoury flavour ingredients to stimulate the senses should stop at stand M884 at this year’s Fi Europe exhibition. All natural, vegetable-based distillates which impart high impact, fresh notes are the latest products to be launched by independent flavour ingredients specialist Treatt plc. Other highlights include a natural, spicy Black Pepper Distillate, plus the recently FEMA (Flavour and Extract Manufacturers Association) approved high impact flavour chemical,

3-Methyl-2,4-nonanedione. 

Ideal for creative savoury applications, roasted bell pepper, watercress and celery are the most recent introductions to the Treattarome^TM range of FTNF (From The Named Food) natural distillates. Derived from premium quality, fresh vegetables, these

water-soluble ingredients can authentically enhance savoury flavour profiles. Their natural status also provides flavourists with the opportunity to cost-effectively enliven flavour blends, without affecting the ingredients label. 

Roasted Bell Pepper Treattarome 9810, produced from fresh green, red and yellow peppers, imparts a characteristic, char-roasted, capsicum flavour, with grilled and astringent top notes. Distilled from fresh watercress, Watercress Treattarome 9820 has strong green, peppery and astringent cress notes with hints of butter, potato and onion. Celery Treattarome 9790 has a powerful sulphur character, with traces of green, nutty and creamy flavours. These novel ingredients complement Treatt’s rapidly expanding savoury compendium, which includes Cucumber Treattarome 9721, Tomato Treattarome 9722 and Green Bell Pepper Treattarome 9723.

Treatt will also be showcasing Black Pepper Distillate, a natural specialty with a characteristic freshly milled black pepper flavour.  With a warm, spicy, fruity aroma, this specialty is also reminiscent of brown sugar and chocolate. Further savoury developments include the FEMA (#4057) approved status of

3-Methyl-2,4-nonanedione, which enables Treatt to offer this distinctive chemical to flavourists worldwide. Imparting hay-like green notes, 3-Methyl-2,4-nonanedione is found naturally occurring in dry green and black tea as well as dry parsley, and is suitable for use in tea, honey and parsley formulations.

To sample these, plus a selection of Treatt’s other products including essential oils, citrus specialties and high impact aroma chemicals, visitors should plan to call at stand M884. Representatives will also be on hand to offer expert advice and technical details on Treatt’s expansive product portfolio.

Treatt plc, stand 2362, IFT 2003, Chicago, Illinois, USA, 12 - 16 July 2003

Visitors looking for fresh, savoury creations should plan to stop at stand 2362, where flavour ingredients expert Treatt, will be unveiling its new selection of natural vegetable distillates. Other savoury innovations, including a natural specialty rich in bell pepper character and an intense celery distillate, will also be highlighted at the show.

Roasted pepper, watercress and celery are the latest savoury additions to the TreattaromeÔ range of FTNF (from the named food) specialty aqueous distillates to be launched at the show. These new products complement Treatt’s existing portfolio, which includes Tomato Treattarome 9722, Cucumber Treattarome 9721 and Green Bell Pepper Treattarome 9723. These Treattarome products impart a high impact flavour without increasing acidity levels and have been successfully used in vegetable blends and beverages plus soups, sauces and dressings. Wholly distilled from fresh fruit and vegetables, they are ideal for flavourists searching for new ingredients to provide an authentic taste and a clean label.

Treatt will also introduce TreattazineÔ – a natural specialty with a characteristic green bell pepper taste. Of further interest are the potato, green bean and earthy notes present. Additionally, Treattazine can enhance and sweeten savoury applications.

For an intense but typical celery flavour, Treatt has developed a natural celery distillate. Derived from celery seed, it has a powerful celery odour and flavour with some walnut-like notes. The distillate contains enhanced levels of phthalides compared with the standard celery seed oil.

Flavour ingredients specialist Treatt plc has launched a natural Celery Oil Distillate. Derived from celery seed, it has an intense but typical celery flavour making it ideal for savoury flavour creations.

The distillate contains enhanced levels of phthalides – the chemicals responsible for the characteristic celery odour – compared with celery seed oil. Additionally, Celery Oil Distillate offers flavourists the handling advantages of a distillate over the traditionally used celery oleoresin. Clear yellow in colour, it has a significantly more intense celery character than the oleoresin without its stickiness or dark colour.

Celery Oil Distillate is the latest in Treatt’s expanding range of savoury flavour ingredients. The company is currently working on other new savoury products to be launched over the next year. In addition to its savoury products, Treatt manufactures and supplies over 3,000 essential oils, natural fractions and aromatic chemicals for the flavour and fragrance industries.

Treatt plc has announced a series of strategic changes to its US business. The company has relocated its US facility to Lakeland, Florida and renamed it Treatt USA. The move from Haines City to the new 65,000 sq ft premises, approximately 20 miles away, demonstrates Treatt’s commitment to the US market and enhances its ability to respond to current and future customer requirements.

Transfer to the new site was completed at the end of September. Home to 29 employees, the premises provide Treatt USA with modern, spacious facilities designed in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). In addition, extensive planning of the layout of processing plants, warehousing facilities, laboratories and offices, ensures the new site has complete, controlled access for increased product security and integrity. Total investment is US$6M.

The US team is strengthened by the appointment of Dr. John Boddington, who joins as manager natural products (non-essential oil derived) from 1 October. Boddington’s responsibilities include overseeing commercial, production and R&D functions related to the TreattaromeÔ FTNF (from the named food) natural distillates – which also benefit from a dedicated production area. Boddington, formerly natural research and development manager at Treatt’s UK centre, has worked with the company for eight years.

The Lakeland facility incorporates an 11,000 sq ft warehouse and gives Treatt USA increased processing and blending capacity. Additionally, the technical laboratories – including QC, applications and sampling – have all been expanded and upgraded.

Treatt USA is the new name for Florida Treatt – a change that reflects the evolution of the company’s business and its broadening product range.

Commenting on the move, Hugo Bovill, managing director, Treatt plc, said: "This is a very positive move for us and a sign of our continued commitment to meeting customer demands. The new, larger plant provides Treatt USA with state-of-the-art laboratories, as well as increased space for product inventory. With an additional five acres of undeveloped ground there is also plenty of scope for future developments."

Treatt is a world-leading independent ingredients supplier to the flavour and fragrance industries. The turnover of Treatt plc, a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange, in 2001 was US$38.64m. Its wholly owned American subsidiary, now called Treatt USA, was formed in 1990. The company manufactures and supplies a vast inventory of innovative products including essential oils and their natural fractions, specialty chemicals and a range of Treattarome FTNF (from the named food) natural distillates.

Global flavour ingredients specialist Treatt plc has launched Kiwifruit TreattaromeÔ 9770, a new kiwifruit distillate which imparts a fruity, green flavour to many food systems. Kiwifruit Treattarome 9770 is distilled from fresh, top grade fruit and is therefore classified as FTNF (From The Named Food). It is particularly effective in clear, natural beverages and natural juice blends, and has already successfully been applied to drinks, juices, alcoholic drinks, dairy products and dressings.

Treatt’s innovative, specialist technology combined with top grade fruit selection ensures maximum flavour entrapment. The flavour of kiwi is extremely sensitive to degrees of ripeness, with ester levels increasing markedly as the fruit softens. Through its processing technique, Treatt can achieve a balance between the fresh, green ‘bean like’ components and the sweet, ripe esters.

Kiwifruit Treattarome 9770 provides high impact odour and flavour profiles – even at low levels. As the sole flavouring, for example at 0.1%, Kiwifruit Treattarome 9770 provides an intense kiwi character which is fresh, green and fruity. In a blend, at 0.05% or less, it still gives tropical green/strawberry notes with gooseberry, green tea and grape skin undertones and is particularly effective in natural/WONF (With Other Natural Flavourings) strawberry and tropical blends.

Kiwifruit Treattarome 9770 is the latest in the Treattarome range of unique FTNF water-soluble distillates. Other products in the range include distillates from various fruits, vegetables and crop sources including tropical passion fruit, guava, banana, watermelon and cantaloupe melon.

Treatt manufactures and supplies a vast inventory of innovative products including essential oils, their natural fractions and aromatic chemicals for the flavour and fragrance industries.

Innovative flavour ingredients from Treatt’s product portfolio will be on show at stand 6335 at IFT 2002. Highlights will include garden/vegetable and tea Treattarome^TM FTNF (from the named food) natural distillates, citrus fresh notes and specialty chemicals for savoury applications.

Treatt’s range of specialty soluble Treattarome FTNF distillates are 100% natural and offer flavourists the opportunity to create distinctive flavour profiles. Treatt recently extended this range to 17 natural distillates from various tropical fruits, vegetables and crop sources including cucumber, green pepper and tea. Latest developments in natural distillates will be announced at IFT.

Two natural tea distillates have been developed by Treatt which are water white, so suitable for clear beverages, plus ready-to-drink iced tea. Combined with other Treattarome products these distillates can also produce an entirely natural fruit tea. Black Tea Light Treattarome 9760 and Black Tea Brewed Treattarome 9761 are collected entirely from black tea – Thea sinensis – and blended to achieve a consistent flavour spectrum.

Treatt’s portfolio of citrus specialties including concentrated and folded citrus oils. At IFT two highly volatile fractions – which provide intense, well-balanced citrus notes at extremely low doses – will be demonstrated.

Local company R C Treatt & Co Ltd, the global flavour ingredients specialists, held their 2^nd agents weekend in Bury St Edmunds on 3-4 November 2001. Treatt’s agents, from seventeen countries as far afield as Argentina, Australia and South Africa, were joined by Treatt employees from the UK and Florida, USA, for a weekend of education and entertainment.

"Treatt’s worldwide employees, agents and friends are our greatest asset" enthused Hugo Bovill, Managing Director, Treatt plc. "With their support, Treatt continues to grow – even in these challenging times. These meetings are a great opportunity for the company to say thank you – as well as allowing us to relax, swap ideas and success stories and exchange our thoughts and plans for the future."

A full programme of events was arranged for all attendees including a tour of R C Treatt’s 8,000sq metre site in Bury St Edmunds and a seminar at the British Racing School in Newmarket. The seminar was both informative and interesting with key speakers from Treatt and its US subsidiary, Florida Treatt (Steve Shelton, Vice-President General Manager). Other speakers at the seminar included Mark Lewis, Managing Director of The Duckworth Group – a leading UK flavour company – and David Lang of Investec who gave a presentation on the post take-over mania in the global food and drink industry and its implications.

The event culminated in dinner at The Athenaeum in Bury St Edmunds for over 70 people including Treatt staff, agents and their partners.

At the end of the weekend the agents attended and participated in Europe’s premier food industry exhibition – Food Ingredients Europe – at ExCeL in the London Docklands, where Treatt was exhibiting.
