USA – Flavors and fragrances company, Symrise has inaugurated an upgraded sweet laboratory dedicated to development of new prototypes for sweet goods and dairy applications in New Jersey, USA.
The Food & Dairy Applications laboratory will host a team of experts from the company, with a role to help customers meet their flavor development needs in various applications.

The improved laboratory features sophisticated equipment including a positive pressure airflow system that keeps air clean and regulates temperature and humidity; a fully-computerised steam injection milk and dairy processor, all designed to improve development capabilities.
It also includes a dedicated area for fruit preparations; a new flavour carousel system that helps the food scientists and applications staff work more efficiently; and a spacious, walk-in freezer and cooler.
Application experts will utilize Symrise pilot scale equipment available for tableting, fruit preparation, soft and hard pack ice cream, cookie sheeting and starch moulding.
Insights will be provided in developing eminent flavors in products such as chewing gum, ice cream, cookies and nutrition drinks.
