15 Aug 2019 --- Biotechnology researcher and developer Conagen is expanding its flavor portfolio beyond aromatic compound γ-Decalactone to include 20 new lactones. The US-based company announced its “breakthrough” technology provides for over 20 different lactones. It had been developed for the commercial production of γ-Decalactone, which is used in formulations with distinctive fruit flavors. Many of the lactones have not been available commercially because of a lack of reliable sources. Additionally, the lactones are natural and non-GMO, allowing producers to tap into the clean label trend.
