Beyond Whale Hunting: 92% Bio-Based Ambergris Odowell engineers ambergris-analogues from perilla leaves, slashing 94% carbon vs ocean-derived ambergris.
Ambrox, a cornerstone of modern amber accords, faces rising demand for eco-friendly alternatives. ODOWELL’s 100% bio-based Ambrox, derived from sugarcane waste via patented fermentation, delivers identical olfactory performance while slashing carbon footprint by 62% (ISO 14067 certified).
Raw Material: Sclareolide (Biobased Source) Sclareolide, a natural diterpene lactone extracted from plants such as Salvia sclarea, serves as the renewable precursor for Ambroxane synthesis.
Recently, IFRA and IOFI updated their 2024 Labeling Manual, classifying six flavoring substances, including Cetalox/Ambrox DL (CAS 3738-00-9), as Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic (CMR) Category 2 (Rep.2). While this classification does not immediately impact their status under FEMA GRAS or EU regulations, stricter labeling requirements signal a pivotal shift in compliance expectations for the industry.
Ambroxane (ambroxide), a prized amber-like aroma molecule, is a cornerstone of modern perfumery. However, Client A faced mounting pressure to address three critical issues with conventional synthetic Ambroxane:
Producing premium Ambrox Biobase demands interdisciplinary optimization spanning synthetic biology, reaction engineering, and advanced analytics. By systematically addressing feedstock, catalysis, purification, and quality control challenges through cutting-edge technologies, manufacturers achieve >78% process atom economy while meeting ISO 16128 sustainability benchmarks. Continuous collaboration with flavor houses ensures technical solutions align with market-driven olfactory specifications.
