Innovation in natural extracts has become a genuine differentiating factor for entrepreneurs in the natural products sector. As the natural ingredients market continues to expand, the quest for original solutions has become essential to stand out and create unique offerings.
In our previous article, we explored an initial selection of innovative natural extracts that are already revolutionizing professional practices. Today, we invite you to discover four new hidden treasures: Coffee Robusta absolute with intense roasted notes, Mate absolute with surprising herbaceous accents, Mimosa absolute with gentle floral notes, and Poplar bud absolute with unique balsamic nuances.
These natural extracts, carefully selected by Landema experts, open new creative perspectives for wellness professionals, flavor artisans, and sensory experience creators. Whether you're a pastry chef, natural perfumer, or herbalist, these exceptional ingredients will enable you to innovate and differentiate yourself in your market.
Innovation in the natural extracts sector extends beyond the discovery of new raw materials. It represents a genuine opportunity to stand out by offering unique and original creations. Mate, for example, traditionally consumed in South America, perfectly illustrates this innovation trend. Initially harvested in the wild in Brazil and Argentina, it is now extensively cultivated to meet growing demand.
Natural entrepreneurs have every reason to explore these hidden treasures. In perfumery and cosmetics, these extracts can provide unique olfactory signatures. Mate, with its hay notes, green tea accents, and woody and smoky touches, offers infinite creative possibilities. It pairs particularly well with woody or citrus accords, bringing warm and subtle nuances to compositions.
This innovative approach not only enables differentiation in a competitive market but also meets consumer expectations for authenticity and naturalness. Innovative natural extracts, obtained through environmentally respectful extraction processes, represent the future of an industry in full transformation.
Let's discover four exceptional natural extracts that perfectly illustrate this trend.
Discovered in Congo at the end of the 19th century, Coffee Robusta (Coffea canephora) quickly established itself as a remarkable variety, now primarily cultivated in Vietnam and Africa. Its absolute, obtained through the extraction of carefully roasted beans, captures the very essence of this powerful coffee.
The Coffee Robusta absolute distinguishes itself through intense pyrogenic notes, accompanied by woody and slightly smoky touches. Its high caffeine content (up to 2.7%) provides a natural energizing character and an incomparable olfactory signature.
