Vanilla flavours

The Govanil range of vanilla flavours from Rhodia Aroma Performance is suitable for the bakery and confectionery products such as biscuits, pastries, cookies, cakes, fillings and chocolates.

Combining a rare intensity – up to 20 percent higher when compared with standard vanilla flavours – and a note that provides a unique long-lasting effect on the palate, Govanil also significantly enriches a wide range of other notes, including butter, egg, biscuit, caramel and fruit which makes it particularly appealing for industrial bakery and confectionery recipes.

“Govanil originates from the all new CRF technology developed by our company,” explains Dominique Giannotta, project director, Rhodia Aroma Performance. “CRF technology delivers a whole new set of value-added organoleptic enhancing properties.”

The range can compensate for fat or sugar content in bakery and confectionery recipes and therefore dramatically expands the range of possibilities for industrial food applications.

Giannotta continues, “As a major partner of the food industry for many years we have established a wealth of services designed to help optimise the utilization of our flagship brands and, to further support this, we recently inaugurated our new Vanil’Expert Center located at our R&D facilities in Saint Fons, France totally dedicated to the research and development of new vanilla flavours for industry professionals.”

“Our company has made a qualitative leap forward with Govanil, the benchmark for vanilla flavours,” says Dominique Rage, president Rhodia Aroma Performance. “Govanil is manufactured fully respecting our established food safety procedures and processes and confirms Rhodia’s commitment to be the worldwide leading reference in vanilla flavours,” he concludes.

At present, Rhodia has developed three grades, all preserving unparalleled organoleptic and functional qualities:

• Govanil – The benchmark vanilla flavour offering a unique and long-lasting character with exceptional value-added properties

• Govanil Intense – A grade ideal for doses below 0.1% and custom-made tastes.

• Govanil Natural – This grade’s vanilla taste is obtained from renewable sources and meets the requirements of both the European and American regulations for natural products which allows the addition of ‘natural flavour’ on food labeling.
