Our raw materials
Raw materials science
We give preference to raw materials of biogenic origin in our entire product range. We make sure that our materials are biodegradable and are obtained and processed as gently as possible. Only by modifying basic materials from nature, in combination with our technical knowledge and expertise, can we develop high-quality, modern and high-performance products.
Here is a comparison to foods that characterizes the deviation from the natural originas a measure of the degree of modification. While wild fruits or salt, unprocessed, represent the purest form of a natural substance, processed flour is already slightly modifiedby the baking process, and saccharin, as a fully synthetic sweetener, is at the bottom of the comparison.
