Natural blackcurrant flavouring
Natural blackcurrant flavour is derived from blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum), a small dark berry native to central and northern Europe. It is obtained from plant-based raw materials through physical, microbiological or enzymatic processes, without the use of synthetic aroma molecules. Its taste profile is characterised by a pleasant combination of sweet and tangy notes, typical of the fresh fruit. Blackcurrant is naturally rich in polyphenols, vitamin C and anthocyanins, compounds associated with well-documented antioxidant properties. The natural flavour derived from it retains the organoleptic characteristics of the fruit and contributes to making formulations more enjoyable to consume. In the context of food supplements, natural blackcurrant flavour is primarily used to enhance the sensory experience of products, particularly their taste and aroma. It helps combine the pleasure of consumption with regularity of intake, two key factors in the long-term effectiveness of supplementation.
