BASF Introduced New Citrus Fragrance Ingredient

BASF Aroma Ingredients has introduced Micadelva™, a new citrus fragrance ingredient designed as a non-allergenic alternative to orange terpenes. It offers perfumers a new orange platform for creating modern, long-lasting citrus notes through reformulation.

The company also unveiled its Safe-by-Design innovation concept, based on the EU's Safe and Sustainable by Design framework, to help develop future-ready fragrance ingredients in an evolving regulatory landscape.

Micadelva™ contains 80% renewable carbon, is readily biodegradable, and is expected to have a low product carbon footprint (A++ rating), supporting more sustainable fragrance development.

Steffen Götz, Senior Vice President, Aroma Ingredients at BASF, said "With Micadelva™ and our Safe-by-Design innovations, we are setting the direction for next-generation fragrance ingredients. The compelling sustainability profile contributes to the green transformation of our customers. This enables our customers to innovate with confidence while maintaining creative performance in an evolving market and regulatory environment."
