Symrise introduces advisory board

With the foundation of a new scientific advisory body, Symrise is expanding its competencies in the area of health-oriented food.

The Scientific Advisory Board for Health and Nutrition is composed of internationally renowned scientists, who advise the company during the development of new ingredients for supplements and healthy and functional food products.

The external specialists provide Symrise researchers with support in implementing new scientific data as quickly as possible in actual products, and they also give the researchers support in developing new technologies.

“In the functional foods and health products segment we are seeing strong growth, which is also having a long-term impact on the innovation pipelines of our customers,” says Dirk Bennwitz, senior VP of Consumer Health.

“Together with our external advisors we aim to identify the nutritional needs of the consumers early on and respond to these with tailor-made products. Our goal is to target highly focused research and product development with the highest possible level of relevance for consumers and customers.”

Advisors hail from the University of California in San Diego, the German Institute of Human Nutrition (DIfE) and from the Technische Universität Braunschweig.
