Nestle selects new Senomyx flavor ingredient

Senomyx says Nestlé SA has selected a new flavor ingredient, which was discovered under the companies' collaborative research and license agreement, for development activities and evaluation of commercial potential in the coffee and coffee whitener fields.

Nestlé is also continuing to assess another ingredient for potential future selection in the same field.

Both ingredients are undergoing development activities that include scale-up production and safety studies to support regulatory filings in the US and elsewhere.

Both companies are working closely with Nestlé regarding the testing of both ingredients in product prototypes covered under the agreement.
