RAW MATERIALS SACMAR

Essential oils, extracts

Essential oils and aromatic raw materials are at the origin of SACMAR’s history. Since 1947 we have been developing expertise in the selection, trade and processing of materials for the flavour industry and our customers’ applications.

Today we supply crude and rectified essential oils, botanical extracts, tinctures, infusions, distillates and aroma molecules, as well as food raw materials such as cocoa, desiccated coconut, caramel and sweeteners. Alongside our international sourcing network, we provide laboratory analysis, technical support and processing services.

Our raw materials

Crude and rectified essential oils

We offer essential oils to be selected according to their aromatic profile, analytical characteristics and intended use.

Our team supports the assessment of raw materials and any rectification needs, matching the required specifications with the available processing options.

Extracts, tinctures, infusions and distillates

We supply botanical extracts, tinctures, infusions and distillates for the development of flavour compositions and finished products, including botanical distillates for gin and sambuca and bitter extracts for aperitifs and bitters.

We also offer powder extracts for dry mixes, capsules and powder dosing, and water-soluble citrus extracts for drinks and water-based matrices. The choice considers the sensory characteristics of the raw material, the available form and its compatibility with the target formulation.

Italian-origin references

We select raw materials of Italian origin, including PDO and PGI references, for projects that highlight the provenance of their ingredients. Our team checks the availability and documentation of each reference.

Aroma molecules

Our offer includes molecules used in flavour formulation, including:

  • Vanillin
  • Menthol
  • Anethole
  • Eucalyptol
  • Thymol
  • Eugenol

Food raw materials

Our offer is completed by raw materials for the food and nutraceutical industries:

  • Cocoa For bakery, confectionery and dairy products.
  • Desiccated coconut For doughs, fillings and decorations.
  • Caramel For colour and caramel notes.
  • Maltodextrin As a carrier and bulking agent.
  • Sweeteners Including xylitol, for reduced-sugar and sugar-free formulations.

The SACMAR team is available to check the availability, specifications and documentation of the requested references.

International selection and sourcing

We work with a global network of suppliers to identify raw materials that meet our customers’ technical and commercial requirements.

Direct imports and in-depth knowledge of raw materials allow us to complement supply with the search for new references and support in evaluating available alternatives.

Laboratory

Analysis and characterisation of raw materials

SACMAR’s analytical expertise supports the study and control of aromatic raw materials.

Our laboratory is equipped with GC, GC-MS and HPLC instruments to investigate sample characteristics and help verify specifications. Comparing sensory evaluation with instrumental analysis helps guide the choice according to the intended use.

Rectification and contract processing

We make our production expertise available to customers through:

  • Rectification and washing of essential oils, to adapt the characteristics of raw materials to the agreed specifications.
  • Contract processing, starting from the customer’s raw materials and requirements.
  • Production on shared formulas, within projects governed by confidentiality agreements.

Processing methods are defined through a preliminary technical discussion on the characteristics of the material and the required result.

Technical and documentation support

We support customers in evaluating specifications and available documentation, taking into account the application and the target market.

For requests for certified organic, kosher or halal raw materials, our team checks the availability of individual references and their certification.

From raw material to formulation

The expertise of the Raw Materials area is integrated with that of the Flavours and Ingredients areas. This collaboration allows us to evaluate a raw material also in terms of its aromatic contribution and its use in the finished product.
