Flavours expand the range of taste and aroma of various foods and beverages and have been used as sensory enhancing components since the ancient times.

Natural flavours are derived from natural sources such as plants and animals and are witnessing a significant demand from the food industry. Hence, the thriving food industry across the continent is escalating the Latin America flavours market.
