    Product Highlights
    • Nootkatone is a citrus extract readily obtained from oranges. Since this is a naturally occurring material and since we convert it to nootkatone using an enzymatic process, our product is designated ‘natural’. Valencene is available from multiple sources so we can offer the security of supply of our nootkatone product.
    • Oxford Biotrans has already identified several further high-value flavor products, accessible via our technology, where the feedstock is a relatively low-cost, natural material with ready availability. We intend to realize scalable, ‘green’, biocatalytic processes for these products.
