Fine Aromatics's Product

Maltol and ethyl maltol are pyrone derivatives with a sweet aromatic odor similar to caramel. Since their release by Otsuka Chemical in 1977, they have been widely used by users as synthetic flavorings for food additives. 
In addition to synthetic flavoring agents, levulinic acid has recently been used as a hair care ingredient, and we are striving to maintain the quality of life of our customers.
