Rich Grapefruit Aroma
Nootkatone, also known as Nootkatone, is a bicyclic sesquiterpenoid. It is a natural aromatic substance found in grapefruits and other citrus fruits, used as a food-grade fragrance ingredient.
Cost Control, Affordable Price
The yield of naturally sourced Nootkatone is limited, and the price of chemically semi-synthesized Nootkatone is high. Therefore, Hesheng Technology, based on synthetic biology research of natural products, has developed a novel production route for Nootkatone. This method, involving microbial fermentation and chemical semi-synthesis, enables stable production of Nootkatone and significantly reduces production costs.
Naturalness
The Nootkatone produced by Hesheng Technology has been tested and evaluated to meet the U.S. regulations for natural flavors.
