Things taste better together!

Last week we worked as a team and made and packaged five very special types of candies - all with natural extracts. Particularly in focus: Indian Chai – the perfect companion for the autumnal season. With its spicy, cinnamon notes, it not only brings warmth to the glass, but is also reminiscent of the aromas of Christmas. Mild and subtle, but full of flavor – Indian Chai shows that even sweets can perfectly capture autumn. In addition to Chai, we have also created exciting varieties such as Lime-Lavender Blossom, Lemon Thyme-Ginger, Alpine Herbs and Tomato-Chipotle Chilli to show the incredible range of natural extracts. The result? A variety of flavors that shows that candies can be not only sweet, but also complex and surprising.
Which variety would be your favorite?

The taste of fresh, ripe apples is inextricably linked to autumn. Our apple extract offers an optimal solution for integrating seasonal flavor profiles into different products. Thanks to its natural sweetness and subtle acidity, the extract is ideal for a variety of applications - from baked goods to snacks to drinks.
Here are a few ideas:

  • In the development of autumnal pastry mixes or bars
  • For fruity tea and drink mixes
  • As a natural flavor in yoghurt and dairy products

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 aware of our social responsibility.

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.
