Technical & procurement detail
What Nootkatone is and what it does+
Nootkatone is the defining aroma compound of grapefruit, obtained from citrus sources or by biotechnological routes, and detectable at very low thresholds.
Very low threshold, very high impact+
Nootkatone reads at parts-per-billion levels, so it is dosed from a dilution. Weighing it neat into a batch reliably overshoots and produces a harsh, bitter grapefruit character.
Route determines label and price+
Citrus-derived, fermentation-derived and synthetic nootkatone differ by an order of magnitude in cost and in the label position they support. State the required route explicitly in the enquiry.
Regulatory status is destination-specific+
Permitted use, permitted level and required labelling for this material differ by country, by product category and by intended claim. Allzone does not represent that the material is approved for your application in your market. Tell us the destination market and the finished-product category, and the available supplier documentation is provided so your regulatory team can complete its own assessment.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
