Beverage flavours for still and carbonated drinks

With Senovia flavours, your beverages stay true to taste from pilot runs to full-scale production. Built for stability across soft and highly carbonated beverages, our flavour systems deliver consistent results, letting you launch faster and perform reliably at any scale.

No flavour drift. No carbonation loss. No batch variation.

Senovia's partnership principles

We test before we send

You don't get a sample until we've tested it first. Before you commit to larger orders, every flavour goes through pilot trials in your actual production conditions. You'll see how it performs, in still and carbonated bases.

Your pilot batch = your 500th batch

Automated dosing (90% adoption throughout the facilities), real-time analytics, and in-line NIR spectroscopy help us keep every batch identical. We also ensure full traceability from raw materials to finished product, batch-by-batch.

Flexible production: 5 kg to 50 tonnes

We bring the same rigorous approach to supporting both established and growing brands. Whether you need 5 kilograms or 50 tonnes of flavour, you receive the same level of precision, expertise, and quality standards.

Bringing consistent taste to every type of drink

Beverage manufacturing demands precise formulation, as varying levels of carbonation can significantly affect how flavors are perceived in the final product. Senovia flavours are crafted with these considerations in mind, helping you deliver a consistent, true-to-intent taste in every drink.

flavours for carbonated soft drinks

Carbonated soft drinks

Cola • Lemon-lime • Orange • Ginger ale • Flavoured sparkling water • Tonic

CO₂ injection mutes volatile top notes, changing how flavours are perceived – but Senovia's carbonated beverage flavours are formulated for stability and balanced for consistent release. Your citrus sparkler, cola, or flavoured water delivers clean, refreshing taste without bitterness, chemical notes, or flavour fade.

Still beverages

Iced tea • Flavoured water • Herbal infusions • Juices & nectars

Without carbonation, still beverages face oxidation, light exposure, and extended shelf-life challenges. Juices add extra complexity with thermal processing, browning, and volatile loss. With our formulations, your beverages will maintain their intended freshness, preserve delicate flavours, and consistently deliver the taste you envisioned.

flavours for punch and cocktails

Punch & cocktails

Fruit punch • RTD cocktails • Mocktails • Mixers • Aperitifs

Complex flavour layering, alcohol interaction (or absence), and premium taste expectations require careful and sophisticated formulations. Our cocktail and punch flavours blend multiple fruit notes and work with spirits or standalone in mocktails, letting you deliver bar-quality taste in ready-to-drink beverages.

Syrups & concentrates

Coffee syrups • Cocktail syrups • Fountain syrups • Drink bases

High-brix systems (60-70°) and extreme dilution ratios (1:5 to 1:20) create unique formulation challenges, while hot and cold applications demand versatile performance. With Senovia syrup formulations, you get flavours that thrive in high-sugar environments, maintain consistency across variable dilutions, and perform reliably whether poured over hot espresso or mixed with ice.

How we work together

Senovia handles flavour projects end-to-end, from design or matching through to manufacturing. We provide project management and compliance support as standard, not extras. So, you can spend less time coordinating or handling regulatory paperwork and get your products to market faster.

DISCOVERY & ALIGNMENT

Initial consultation
We start by understanding your product goals, process constraints, label requirements, and commercial timeline.

Technical brief development
No one-size-fits-all – we align on what matters to your individual project and document all specifications.

Feasibility assessment
We evaluate all the technical parameters and confirm compatibility with your manufacturing process.

DEVELOPMENT & VALIDATION

Flavour creation
We develop flavour prototypes that get screened by our sensory panel and tested for application compatibility.

Application validation
We use your target flavour profiles in real processing conditions and deliver pilot trials before you commit to volume.

Optimisation & scale-up
Our teams optimise the dosage, validate batch consistency, and prepare regulatory documentation.

IMPLEMENTATION & SUPPORT

Manufacturing transfer
We transfer to manufacturing when everything performs, ensuring seamless handover and production readiness.

Quality assurance handoff
Our Quality Control team provides full documentation package (certificates and analysis).

Ongoing support
Technical troubleshooting, reformulation assistance, regulatory updates – we stay with you after the initial launch.

The perks of working with us

From scalable manufacturing and cost-efficient formulations to proactive regulatory support, Senovia helps you produce with confidence, consistency, and commercial advantage.

Manufacturing with precision & scale

We’re part of Arethia, a flavour house with 70 years of expertise. Our global production facilities feature 90%+ automated dosing and an annual capacity over 10,000 tonnes, ensuring consistent quality & reliable supply as your business scales.

Lower cost-in-use

Our high-impact formulations deliver strong flavour intensity while requiring less material in the final application. By using carefully selected, concentrated ingredients, we help reduce overall formulation costs while maintaining consistent performance.

Regulatory heavy lifting

Your compliance requirements stay covered as regulations evolve. We monitor global and European flavour ingredient regulations, operate FSSC 22000 and ISO 9001:2015 certified sites, and provide Halal, Vegan, and other certifications as needed.
