Company Profile + My Itinerary
The flavours and fragrances Group is one of the 13 product groups of Federchimica Aispec (the Italian Association representing fine chemistry, specialist products and services for the chemical industry). The Group comprises approximately 50 Italian and multinational companies, both large and medium-small sized.
Flavours and fragrances are produced from raw materials of natural origin - through physical, enzymatic and microbiological processes - or by chemical synthesis. In both cases, they comply with precise requirements for purity and safety for consumer health in accordance with the legislation.
The function of flavours is to give flavour to food products, beverages, animal feed, medicinal products, cosmetics, and even tobacco.
The task of fragrances, on the other hand, is to give a specific olfactory note to many products, from cosmetics and perfumery to household cleaning products, from detergents to room deodorants. In some of these applications, such as perfumes, the fragrance defines the product’s identity.
The main goals of the Group are to protect the interests of member companies and enhance the image of the sector, provide assistance, information, and updates on technical and regulatory developments, and represent them to institutions and other organizations.
The Group is a member of the main associations in the sector at the international level: IFRA – International Fragrance Association, IOFI - International Organization of the Flavor Industry, EFFA - European Flavour and Fragrance Association.
