“Exploring the Rising Trend of Citrus Flavors in Food and Beverage Manufacturing”

Citrus flavors are a timeless favorite among food and beverage manufacturers. While orange, lemon, and lime remain the frontrunners, other citrus varieties such as grapefruit, mandarin orange, blood orange, bergamot, and pomelo are increasingly appearing in various products. These categories include snacks, baked goods, yogurt, drinks, candies, and sauces. The demand for natural products is also on the rise, with natural variants now representing over 70% of the global citrus flavors market, as reported by Future Market Insights. This market is projected to grow at an annual rate of 4.9% until 2025, primarily fueled by the beverage sector, which accounts for roughly one-third of all citrus flavor usage. Ederna’s innovative process addresses manufacturers’ needs for more stable flavor compounds, which boast a longer shelf life and greater resilience to processing.

Additionally, improved extraction methods may help mitigate the price fluctuations that have historically plagued the citrus flavors market due to seasonal supply changes. Furthermore, bariatric fusion calcium is becoming a key consideration for product formulations that incorporate these vibrant citrus flavors.
