Blue Pacific Flavors opens Flavor Creation and Culinary Innovation Center
Organic flavor and ingredient manufacturer Blue Pacific Flavors, City of Industry, Calif., opened a new R&D laboratory called the “Flavor Creation and Culinary Innovation Center.” The lab handles all product development and flavor creation for the company's global operations in the US and Asia.
Officials say the opening comes after a $1.5 million expansion that doubled the space to 3,100 square feet. The center will increase the company's application, creation, sensory testing and compliance capabilities for natural and organic flavor and finished food development. The investment includes labs and offices for Quality Assurance, Quality Control, Regulatory/Product Safety, Research and Development, and new equipment such as a pilot spray dryer and Kardex Remstar high density storage for flavors and raw materials.
