LMR Naturals by IFF: Tumeric Root & Leaf India

LMR Naturals by IFF established an exclusive and long-term partnership with Nesso, one of India’s leading producers of natural ingredients. For centuries, turmeric has been widely sought after for the curcumin present in its rhizomes, which was sold mostly to the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. Our agronomical engineers identified several discarded materials from the turmeric supply chain that held highly valuable olfactive properties, allowing us to propose 2 new upcycled ingredients. Turmeric Leaf Oil India LMR is made by recovering and distilling the turmeric leaves. Our Turmeric Root UltimateTM Extract MD utilizes raw material side streams from the curcumin production chain, a substance that would typically be discarded. We are now utilizing every part of the plant, leaving no waste in the supply chain. The turmeric root has the bitterness of a root with a spicy ginger note as well as red fruit touch balanced by creamy floral and woody undertones. On the contrary, the turmeric leaf has a sparkling peppery top note with a citrus and terpenic elemi character. Both are presented by Nicolas Beaulieu, Senior Perfumer at IFF.
