Natural Ingredients

Aromaplant’s history began with raw herbal materials and even today it is hard to imagine our product range without them. We ensure the high quality of our herbal ingredients with contractual cultivation agreements and healthy relations with trusted farmers, maximising customer satisfaction. We are FSSC 22000 certified and the GACP standards we follow guarantee complete quality assurance from field to customer. Once a material is received, we examine sensory, analytical and microbiological parameters of the ingredients, utilising various measuring instruments in our laboratory such as UPLC, GC-MS, LC-MS, spectrophotometers, etc.

Our customers are offered a comprehensive array of refinement processes such as cleaning, cutting, grinding, mixing, laser sorting, germ reduction and CO2 disinfection. Our goods are only released for export once they have successfully passed our controls. Every shipment received in Hamburg is immediately re-examined, both internally and in external laboratories. A unique product analysis is supplied with each delivery, and customers choose a product size according to their requirements, such as: Tea bag cut, coarse cut, powder form, etc.

Licorice powder is packed in 25kg paper or PP-bags, with a PE-inliner. The glycyrrhizic acid content can be varied from 2% to 8% as desired.
Licorice block in weight of 5kg is individually wrapped in PE film, and then packed in a carton of 5 blocks each. Glycyrrhizic acid contents range from 3% to 8%.
Licorice paste is normally supplied in drums and IBCs in various pack
sizesfrom 25kg to 1250kg. The residual moisture is usually 35%.

Essential Oils

Essential oils are pure extracts from plants, which contain the characteristic scents and typical tastes in a highly concentrated form – they are, so to speak, the essence of the plant. Aromaplant’s many years of experience selecting and handling raw herbal materials is complimented with comprehensive technical expertise. This perfect blend enables us to produce very special essential oils.
Essential oils are usually dissolved from plant materials by distillation. Our distillation facilities have a capacity of between 50l and 5,000l. We use rectification columns to purify our oils and a selection of them are
GMP-certified, perfect for our pharmaceutical customers.

We are able to isolate key components and undesirable substances during purification, thus standardising our oils and increasing quality and consistency. Our essential oils are packaged in a range of practical sizes, from 1kg aluminum bottles to 200kg drums.

Distillates & Aromas

The pure taste of nature, it’s what we stand for. We supply food manufacturers and the flavour industry with a range of natural distillates. Our modern facilities can manage distillation at low temperatures, and for minimal durations. These techniques enrich our fragrances.
Our special focus is on the production of so-called FTNF/FTNJ flavours. These are produced exclusively from a fruit or juice. Sophisticated technology, quality of materials, and reactive processing are particularly decisive here. Our sourcing-team uses only the finest raw materials. Strategic planning and just-in-time delivery guarantee that we only process freshly harvested raw materials.
Current consumer trends are moving increasingly towards “natural” food labelling. Our natural flavours fall in the category of “extracts” or “concentrates” and contain
neither preservatives nor added antioxidants, allowing “clean labelling” of the end products. With our aromas, you can add value to your products, and ensure they are well received in a growing market.
Our natural distillates offer you the unique opportunity to incorporate the full and authentic taste of nature into your food and beverages. There are almost no limits to the imagination of our specialists and our flavours are individually produced to enhance your tastes. Naturally, the availability of specific flavours can fluctuate
seasonally. We will work with you to find the perfect distillates, so please do get in touch with us if you’d like to find out more. Here is a small taster of our portfolio:
