Leaf-aldehyde

Leaf-aldehyde

Ardra produces natural leaf aldehyde using fermentation and it is an essential flavour and perfumery ingredient.

In the food and beverage industry, leaf-aldehyde is employed to replicate flavours such as green apple, berry, citrus, and tomato. Within the fragrance industry, lead-aldehyde imparts a fresh green top-note to floral and fruity fragrances.

Leaf-aldehyde also serves as a natural preservative with antimicrobial and antifungal functions.
