FAQ
1) What are terpene blends?
Terpenes are naturally occurring aroma compounds found in many plants, fruits, and flowers. They are responsible for much of what we perceive as aroma and flavor. We combine food‑safe terpenes into carefully designed profiles that can be used across a wide range of products, including food, beverages, and inhalable applications.
2) Are terpene blends the same as flavorings?
Not exactly. Terpenes primarily affect aroma architecture, which strongly influences perceived flavor, often with less impact on sweetness, acidity, or mouthfeel.
3) Can you help if I don’t know how to describe my target?
Yes, that is our specialty! We guide you through a simple sensory brief (direction, intensity, and boundaries) and translate it into a buildable blend target.
4) Can you customize an existing blend?
Yes. We will conduct a briefing session in which we align on current product and the intended outcomes.
Most custom work involves: tuning, making a profile brighter or softer, converting to natural ingredients, improving heat or acid stability or refining the finish.
5) Will it work in my application?
Performance depends on the base and processing (sweeteners, pH, heat, carbonation, packaging). We design with your application in mind and provide usage guidance.
6) How do I get started?
Request samples for a starting point, or submit a custom target. We’ll recommend the fastest path.
