    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the most common applications of synthetic fragrances?

    Our partners manufacture a range of consumer products with synthetic fragrances, such as laundry detergent, soap, body lotions, deodorants and air fresheners.

    What are natural flavors in food ingredients?

    All flavor ingredients, including those used in food applications, are categorized into four basic types:
    Natural Extract – This means a flavor is 100% direct from the source. Natural extracts are also referred to as “from the named fruit” or FTNF.
    Natural Flavor WONF – This denotes that the food ingredient includes natural extracts from the named fruit and other natural flavors. An example might be Apple WONF, which might describe natural apple extract with natural blueberry.
    Natural Flavor Type: All ingredients are natural for “type” flavors, but the named fruit is not included. These are often derived from other fruit or botanical raw ingredients to mimic the flavor of the named fruit.
    Natural and Artificial – Also known as “N&A,” natural and artificial includes a natural ingredient supplemented with artificial ingredients.

    What are synthetic fragrances?

    Synthetic fragrance ingredients are manufactured to achieve specific results in finished products. Most synthetic fragrances include petroleum-based chemicals and may also include natural extracts.

    Are terpenes found in food?

    Terpenes are a natural compound found in plants. Terpenes characterize the aroma of fruit or spice. Today, they have also become important in tailoring unique flavors of CBD oils and other cannabis products. Flavor ingredients with terpene will include the abbreviation TERP in the product description. Flavor ingredient companies like Tilley Distribution also work hard to stay ahead of regulatory changes pertaining to CBD oil manufacturing.
