Mazza Innovation’s solvent-free extraction technology enables flavor and color innovation.
Sensient Technologies, Milwaukee, said it acquired Vancouver-based Mazza Innovation Ltd, manufacturer of botanical extraction technology. The addition of Mazza Innovation is a major step in the evolution of Sensient’s “seed to shelf” strategy to innovate across the value chain for natural and organic ingredients.
Mazza’s patented solvent-free clean extraction technology expands current extraction capabilities to deliver pure and clean color, flavor, functional nutraceutical and skin care ingredients, the company said. The acquisition will leverage Sensient’s agronomy and sustainable sourcing programs for plant materials, as well as Sensient’s strong extract refinement and application expertise.
