Flavors

Sensations that become flavorful experiences

THE BEST EXPERIENCES THROUGH FLAVORS

Food has incredible power in our lives. It reveals our culture, personality, relationships and who we are. Passionate about this idea, we, at Duas Rodas, have wagered, since 1925, on the improvement of the power of food as a generator of positively remarkable experiences.

We go deep into the search for flavors that make any bite or sip a perfect connection between the food and beverage industry and people, promoting indulgence, health and well-being at every moment. Among aromas, extracts, dehydrated products and other ingredients, here we generate the most delicious stories told by the palate.

BORN IN BRAZIL, CONNOISSEURS OF THE WORLD

We are the result of the two German immigrants’ determination, who saw in Brazilian diversity all the flavors of the world. Pioneers in the extraction of essential oils in the largest biome on the planet, for more than 9 decades we have united technology, creativity and knowledge about consumer preferences, constantly updated.

More than 30 countries have access, every day, to a wide portfolio, which integrates the complete synergy between all the components involved in the art of creating a perfect aroma and that conveys the best sensation at the time of consumption.

LET'S CREATE TOGETHER

We believe that collaboration is one of the keys to success. Therefore, we go beyond understanding the need, involving customers, suppliers and even consumers to attend projects with assertiveness. We offer an environment that brings together technology, laboratories, more than 10 pilot plants and flavor specialists for the materialization of winning ideas. This work involves multidisciplinary meetings, analysis of the current moment and consumption trends, evaluation of products until the solution with the final product.

OUR FLAVORS

Delightfully memorable experiences with each food and drink

Our specialty in flavor is also a reflection of our specialty in the art of creating aromas. Aromatics with different expertise and flavoring specialists combine knowledge with the latest technology, unfolding profiles that meet different consumption preferences and anticipate consumption movements and trends in diversified markets.

Our portfolio is broad and inspired by stories that make each food a unique and delightfully memorable experience. This  always values quality and performance  and the search to innovate in different applications, such as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, sauces, breads, fillings, margarines, soups, ready meals, spices, cookies, cakes, panettone, candies, yogurt, desserts, dairy drinks, ice cream, cereals, cereal-based drinks, cereal bars, powders for preparing products, among others.

DIVERSITY OF PRODUCTS AND PROCESSES

Our experience and amplitude in the market  allow us to know and act with different methodologies. Modern facilities, combined with the latest technology and the diversity of processes, are represented by the following possibilities:

DRYING

Through different technologies, among them atomization, scraped surface rotary drum and high vacuum.

POWDER MIXTURES

Made from specific processes, which allow the mixing of powdered flavors;

LIQUID MIXTURES

Which provide flavors in liquid, emulsion and emultine forms.

We employ diversified technologies that allow different flavor formats:

Powdered Flavors
Liquid Flavors
Reaction Flavors
Emulsions for beverages

Powdered Flavors

In general, the formulation is the result of the combination of liquid aroma, with encapsulating agents and water. The manufacturing process can occur in two ways: atomization and dispersion. The choice of the best process depends on some factors, such as the application for which the aroma is intended. Main applications: snacks, powder mixes for cake, powdered soft drinks, among others.

Liquid Flavors

They are the result of combining aromatic chemicals with solvents, compounds that will help in the solubility of the formulation and in the mixture of the aroma with its final application. These solvents will establish if the flavor is water soluble (soluble in water) or fat soluble (soluble in fat), which determines if it will be compatible or not with the base where it will be applied. Main applications: beverages, cookies, candies, among others.

Reaction Flavors

They are obtained by a heating process, from raw materials that may or may not have flavoring properties on their own, with at least one containing amino nitrogen and the other being a reducing sugar. These ingredients, when subjected to heat, generate the “Maillard Reaction”, a set of reactions responsible for the formation of compounds that give a scent, flavor and color to food. The process is considered natural, as it is comparable to cooking food. They are considered natural or synthetic flavors according to the nature of the raw materials used. Main applications: soups, sauces, among others.

Emulsions for beverages

These are liquid compressed systems with two immiscible phases, where one phase is dispersed as tiny globules (oil phase, internal phase or dispersed phase), in another phase (aqueous phase, continuous phase or external phase). As these systems are very unstable, the use of emulsifiers, stabilizers and density brokers is necessary to promote system stability. In beverages are widely used, because they provide flavor, color and turbidity to the drink. Main applications: soft drinks, isotonic, alcoholic beverages, among others.
