Renewable chemical company P2 Science and flavour and fragrance ingredient company Bedoukian Research have announced an agreement to develop, manufacture and market flavour and fragrance ingredients.
'The agreement is aimed at commercialising a range of renewable F&F ingredients made via unique processing technology; thus enabling formulators to build improved and more cost effective products for the consumer market', according to the firms.
Currently, the firms are working on products with an existing market demand, and 'innovative' new molecules, while products of immediate commercial interest to both companies are expected to be scaled up to production for commercial supply within a 12 month time frame. As part of the agreement, the companies will evaluate the potential for a joint manufacturing installation to serve the F&F market.
'P2’s unique chemical process technology for the manufacture of chemicals from biomass is a good fit with Bedoukian’s synthesis and separations technology', said the joint press release.
