Solving your formulation challenges

The right amount of flavour and naturally occurring or added caffeine. Not every guarana extract is created equal. Whatever your caffeine needs, we can meet your specific requirements. We offer compelling solutions for solubility, turbidity, and taste, while preserving the inherent characteristics of Guarana in terms of labelling, benefits, and more. Givaudan can also assist you in navigating the regulatory landscape specific to your target country and application.

Great solubility and low turbidity

Our guarana extracts are soluble in water, making them suitable for various food and beverage applications. This includes clear beverage formulations where a smooth and homogeneous dispersion can be achieved.

On pack recognition

The bright orange guarana fruit with its dark eye-like appearance is hard for consumers to miss! Depending on local regulations, our guarana ingredients may allow for on-pack depiction, adding to the intuitive energising appeal of your product. 

Authentic taste

Guarana is known for its distinct taste profile, which can be described as bitter, earthy, and sometimes with a slight soil note. With Givaudan’s extensive background in taste, we can help you achieve a perfectly balanced and enjoyable taste experience with our guarana ingredients.

The right use level for every application

Guarana offers the flavour and appeal of naturally occurring caffeine. We can help you find the right ingredient and dosage for your product, accounting for cost, caffeine content and consumer expectations.
