Nutramaxx · Naturally made. For you.

Your companion for essences and extracts from Hamburg, Germany.

Tailor-made.
Naturally. For you.

Nutramaxx® is your companion in product development when you are looking for plant extracts, distillates or essences for your products. We make food more natural. We produce tailor-made extracts in consultation with you and also support you in further product development when it comes to topics such as product safety and declaration issues. In doing so, we use our worldwide network for raw material procurement, which we have been steadily expanding since 2005, and are thus able to serve even unusual customer requests.

Vanilla is of particular importance to us. We develop extracts from vanilla beans from various regions such as Madagascar, Uganda, Tahiti or Mexico. Our focus and expertise in this area have also been reflected in our new logo.

What we do:

Mulled wine in October? Absolutely.

While the first Christmas markets are still a few weeks away, preparations for the Christmas season have long been in full swing in our product development department. In keeping with the season, we also have something new from our lab: our mulled wine extract, a non-alcoholic version of mulled wine. While our previous variants were alcohol-based, the new extract contains 0.0% alcohol, opening up additional possibilities for non-alcoholic recipes. Six carefully selected ingredients provide the classic winter flavor profile: cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, allspice, lemon zest, and mace blossoms. On the palate, a distinct cinnamon note takes center stage, harmoniously rounded out by pleasant hints of cardamom and cloves. Whether it’s classic mulled wine or non-alcoholic punch, our new extract brings the characteristic variety of Christmas spices directly into the drink. And since, as we all know, Christmas starts earlier in product development than at the Christmas market: Anyone planning for the coming season can pre-order our new mulled wine extract right now. Which spice note is a must-have in your perfect winter drink?

It’s worth thinking outside the box

Where do tomorrow’s food and beverage trends originate? Very often in places where people experiment with flavors every day: in the restaurant industry. That’s exactly why we brought in outside expertise for our latest ideas workshop. Together with Fabio Haebel, a Hamburg-based restaurateur and chef, we discussed current trends in the restaurant industry, explored new flavor profiles, and considered what insights we could draw from them for product development. After all, looking beyond one’s own field opens up new perspectives on flavor, trends, and product ideas: What’s currently on the restaurant industry’s mind? Which combinations work? And which seemingly crazy idea could become a trend as early as tomorrow? The best example: a $60 loaf of bread in New York. It sounds absurd at first, but it also shows how quickly presentation, craftsmanship, and a good story can become a real talking point. Our workshop also gave rise to a concrete idea: the concept for a non-alcoholic aperitif, which we further developed together. For us, one thing is clear: if you want to develop new products, you should sometimes deliberately look beyond your own horizons. Where do you get inspiration for new product ideas?

What would fall be without pumpkin spice?

September is drawing to a close, the days are getting shorter, and with that, pumpkin spice season has officially begun for us. What became known a few years ago primarily as the pumpkin spice latte has since expanded far beyond the coffee cup. Today, this classic combination of warm, spicy notes can be incorporated into a wide variety of fall-themed creations. With our organic pumpkin spice powder, we’re bringing exactly this flavor profile to product development. Labeled as a spice blend, it’s ideal for milk-based drinks, desserts, and fall baked goods like pumpkin pie, cookies, or muffins. After all, as the weather outside slowly turns less pleasant, it’s perfectly fine for our flavors to get a little cozier. What product do you think pumpkin spice absolutely belongs in?

From the initial idea
to market readiness:

1 How it all begins

It all starts with your idea and request for a particular product or taste.
With counter-questions we clarify for which application the product is and which qualitative specifications it must fulfill. BIO, Naturland or Fairtrade certified? Halal, kosher or baby food? If we have a suitable product in our range by default, we will send you a sample immediately.
A suitable product for your wish does not yet exist? No problem, we at Nutramaxx love innovation and the challenge—the journey begins with step number 2 ...

2 Selection of suitable raw material suppliers

We create a supplier selection for the suitable raw material with which we can later create an individual sample for your request and clarify the following questions:
Do we have all documents and certificates for the raw material? And: Is the raw material available or could there be bottlenecks?
We then order a raw material sample from a suitable supplier.

3 Sample Production & Analysis

The basis for your individual sample is produced in a rotary evaporator or as an extract or macerate.
The process is continuously documented and, among other things, the specifications for the sample are recorded.
After the basic sample arrives, an extraction or distillation is performed and your individual customer sample is developed.
We perform detailed analyses with information on allergens, pesticides, chemical-physical parameters etc.
Finally, we create the final specification of your sample.

4 Your lab tests, our support

We will send you your individual sample and you can now start your own tests in the lab.
But also at this point we do not leave you alone:
If you wish, we will be happy to assist you in creating the recipe or the list of ingredients.
We can also develop ready-to-consume samples for you.
We are also there for you if you have any legal questions about topics such as sales descriptions or ingredient lists.

5 Final formulation & market readiness

The customer sample appeals to you and the end customer product is to be launched?! Wonderful!
In this case, we create our final recipe and a process instruction, secure the raw materials in coordination with you and produce a defined quantity with the help of our manufacturing partners so that you can start a pilot production on your plant.
In addition, we create your customer-specific specification including documentation and commission further analyses.

6 Delivery

The time has come: your individual, tailor-made product is produced and delivered!

We are looking forward to your inquiry!

We are aware of our social responsibility.

Not just words,
but actions:

As a company, we are aware of our responsibility to keep pace with social and sustainable standards.

The world we live in is changing, and climate change is making itself increasingly felt. We are contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way of working by making changes in our organization bit by bit and paying attention to the careful use of resources.

But our attention is not only focused on our daily work processes. For years, we have been actively supporting the association Help Mada e.V. whose mission is to improve the health and education systems in Madagascar. It is close to our heart to make our contribution at this point.

The non-profit association was founded in 2020 and has set itself the goal of working with local partners to support and implement the construction of health clinics and schools in Madagascar. We at Nutramaxx believe that the development of the Madagascan infrastructure offers the local people even more quality of life and development opportunities, which are to be considered sustainable and long-term.
