Citrus oil manufacturing
Comprehensive, high-quality citrus oil production

Exceeding global standards for all flavor and fragrance applications


Boosted by our acquisition of FlavorTec in Brazil, Prinova has strengthened our capabilities to become a global leader with a comprehensive approach to high-quality citrus oil manufacturing. Uniquely positioned to offer efficient, sustainable global distribution, as well as fulfill diverse customer requirements, advanced processing and quality control means Prinova consistently meets and exceeds global standards for citrus oil production for all flavor and fragrance applications.



FlavorTec acquisition

In June 2023, Prinova acquired FlavorTec, a 100% Brazilian company founded in 1996 that specializes in cold-pressed citrus essential oil distillation, folded oils, terpenes, and concentrated juices. As a result, the acquisition greatly expands Prinova’s citrus oil production capabilities across Brazil and neighboring South American countries. As a result, we have access to state-of-the-art distillation and processing equipment alongside custom sensory and analytical profiling. 

 

Strategically located in the South American citrus belt, our facilities reduce transportation distances from source to customer, minimizing environmental impact and carbon footprint. This acquisition strengthens Prinova’s overall global distribution network, providing efficient, sustainable supply and increased responsiveness and ability to achieve diverse customer needs.

Prinova specializes in key areas of fresh citrus oil manufacturing and distillation. Using techniques for 100% natural fruit, we can sell products in FTNF, WONF, or NI formats, depending on customer requirements. 

 

Cold pressing allows us to extract essential oils from citrus peels. Through high-pressure techniques, oils are released from the peel’s glands while preserving the oil’s natural aroma and purity. In the ‘folding’ process, oils can be further concentrated to boost solubility, stability, and flavor intensity. 

 

We also use folding processes to create terpenes, the main aromatic compounds in citrus fruits. These are removed and reused to enhance product flavors and fragrances and meet specific customer requirements.

 

While less common, we use steam distillation to extract most other non-citrus essential oils from other botanicals, including plants, leaves, spice, wood, bark, or flowers.
