We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives . This product is a Biobased products, showing key improvements in Green Chemistry Principles “Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses” and “Use of Renewable Feedstock”.

Application

• Formation of Key Aroma Compounds During 30 Weeks of Ripening in Gouda-Type Cheese Produced from Pasteurized and Raw Milk.: The study investigates the formation of key aroma compounds, including ethyl hexanoate, during the ripening of Gouda-type cheese. The results provide insights into the ripening process and its impact on cheese flavor development (Duensing et al., 2024).
