Expressions Aromatiques continues its industrial development with a new extruding equipment
4 Oct 2017Over the past few years, Expressions Aromatiques has focused on infrastructure development and industrial equipment in order to boost future growth.
Established in the Grasse region since 1999, Expressions Aromatiques is specialized in the creation,
development, production and marketing of flavours for the food and beverage industry. We offer a
wide range of natural and synthetic flavours, available in liquid, emulsion, powder and spray dried
form.
Over the past few years, Expressions Aromatiques has focused on infrastructure development and
industrial equipment in order to boost future growth. It started in 2014 with an overall investment of
6M€, which enabled a 3 000 m² extension of the production area, new weighing stations, a new
positive cold room and additional warehousing.
Since then, Expressions Aromatiques has also invested in two new GEA spray dryers: a pilot spray dryer
for testing and for sampling, as well as a MSD™ spray dryer, to cope with the increasing demand for
spray dried flavours.
For the last four years, our R&D department through rigorous research and analysis has permitted to
extend the shelf life of spray dried flavours to 24 months. This new spray drying tower is ST2 classified
(explosion hazard control), hence it is possible to produce more intense and more concentrated spray
dried flavours.
The final applications are numerous and diversified: premixes for bakery, biscuits and pastry; instant
powder drinks; culinary aids and condiments; dietary supplements, health foods and nutritional
products…
Recently, a 2M€ investment was made in a new extrusion system, as part of our project on flavours
encapsulated by extrusion. It concerns a pilot device as well as an industrial extruder.
This new CLEXTRAL equipment will be implemented, with the help of an engineer recruited specifically
for this project, by the end of the second semester 2017. The whole project was carried out in
partnership with the CEMEF laboratory (Centre of Material Forming) which is a part of the research
centre & engineering school Mines ParisTech, for the development of a new range of extruded
flavours. An international patent was registered in 2014.
To support our current industrial expansion, our highly experienced R&D team is dedicated to the
creation of innovative and tailor-made flavouring solutions. Because they work in close collaboration
with the leading companies in ingredients and raw materials, our R&D engineers have acquired indepth
knowledge of new market products. Apart from being open-minded, our flavourists
demonstrate high levels of creativity, hence offering optimal responses to each and every technical
and organoleptic requests.
Visit us in Frankfurt at booth 11.0F101 (hall 11) to meet with our team and taste our latest creations:
Lemon meringue pie and Banana flambée popcorn, as well as Vanilla-Cardamom and Cucumber-Mint
iced teas.
