Lime is the key
As with all the citrus flavors, lime products remain popular. There is an increased demand for authenticity in ingredients, and natural fractions like Lime HV can meet these requirements. A natural specialty fraction, Lime HV gives beverage products a powerful, fruity flavor. Extracted entirely from lime, it’s 100 percent natural and FTNF. A highly volatile fraction, it provides intense, well balanced lime notes at extremely low dosage rates â 1 ppm and less in finished product. It can also be used with other citrus creations such as lemon to add a “twist.”

A complete line of pomegranate-based derivatives includes dry seed extract, dry peel extract, fermented juice extract and cold-pressed seed oil. Pomegranate derivatives contain the highest concentrations of natural ellagic acid, anthocyanidins and other polyphenolic compounds. Studies indicate these are powerful free radical scavengers, the main cause of the body’s aging characteristics. Pomegranate oil also contains a unique conjugated fatty acid which medical researchers have found lowers LDL cholesterol.
