Sensory Lab in Salt Lake City
December 4, 2017, Salt Lake City, Utah – Sensapure Flavors is now an independent flavor house spin off. This is in conjunction with the sale of Genysis Brand Solutions to Nellson Nutraceuticals, LLC (“Nellson”). It was formerly a division of The Genysis Group.
As part of the agreement with Nellson, Sensapure Flavors still provide powdered flavorings to Genysis Brand Solutions. In a few months, Sensapure Flavors will spin off and relocate to accommodate the needs of the growing business.
“Over the years of sourcing specific flavors from the global providers for our nutraceutical brand partners, we realized that no flavor houses were focused on serving the supplement nutrition industry,” said Jeff Reynolds, founder and CEO of Sensapure Flavors. “The flavoring needs of the nutraceutical industry are complex and ever changing. Being able to launch this company with a leader in the industry like Genysis Brand Solutions is a win/win.”
To operate as an independent company and to support the anticipated growth of the business, Sensapure hired certified flavor chemists. This is a first for a Utah based nutrition company, and a team of industry veterans in nutrition. Creating natural and artificial flavors involves thousands of extracts, chemicals and oils. After, you combine those ingredients with active ingredients such as protein, amino acids to make a powder form. This requires a process called spray drying.
The new facility is in the Pioneer Square Business Park at the intersection of I-215 and 2100 South, SLC. It boasts 30K sq ft dedicated to flavor labs, and flavor manufacturing and offices for the Sensapure team. The flavor labs have a flavor creation lab (to create liquid flavors), an applications lab (to test different flavors with functional ingredient bases) and a sensory lab (for taste testing).
In addition to the Utah headquarters, Sensapure has a location in Southern California with the same suite of flavor laboratories. This R&D lab opens in spring 2018. The Utah campus also houses Dyad Labs, an analytical testing lab also spun off as part of the transition. An open house of the Utah facility is scheduled for Spring of 2018.
Sensapure Flavors is a flavor house serving the nutrition and supplement industry with exciting flavor technology and unmatched applications experience. Initially it was a manufacturing company to understand the ever-changing needs of the nutraceutical industry. Now, Sensapure combines new flavor technologies with deep product application experience. They focused on powdered flavors initially, but now they will serve all flavoring aspects of the dynamic supplement and functional nutrition space.
