During this coffee break, take a moment to read about the use of flavour ingredients that add something extra to your coffee aroma and flavour! There are many flavoured coffees available nowadays; nutty hazelnut lattes, spicy gingerbread flavours, and sweet vanilla lattes. You may have also noticed supermarket aisles offering different flavours of instant coffees; this variety allows us to enjoy coffee to suit our mood.

Our high impact chemicals are utilised to develop flavour profiles used in coffee syrups, and instant coffee brands. High impact aroma chemicals provide top notes that give added impact to the distinctive aroma of a particular flavour. Experts across the world in flavour houses carefully develop flavour formulations to not only satisfy a taste but also satisfy an aroma and overall sensation.

Endeavour Speciality Chemicals is a leading UK manufacturer of high impact aroma chemicals used in food ingredient formulations. We pride ourselves on being able to supply high quality food ingredients that add to the aroma of instant coffee products. Contact us for more information.

Traditional autumnal aromas, be that cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger or clove come to the forefront around Halloween – especially in the form of pumpkin spice flavour (it is widely reported, a famous coffee house sells over 20 million pumpkin spice lattes each year on their autumn menu in America!).  Indeed, in the UK this year (2022), pumpkin spice flavour has seen such an increase in popularity, that the same coffee chain has purportedly run out of pumpkin spice syrup in some stores, due to ‘high demand’ ahead of Halloween.

From a chemistry perspective, although there are greater than 340 flavour compounds in the natural spice mix, only 5-10% of these are needed for the human brain to recognise the general aroma and taste.  Some examples of these compounds include cinnamaldehyde (cinnamon), eugenol (clove), sabinene (nutmeg) and zingiberene (ginger).

Spice compounds alone are not enough to create an appealing flavour, however – heat is needed to alter the molecular profile (via the Maillard reaction) to elevate and enhance the flavour notes, producing (along with some other secret ingredients!) that familiar alluring autumnal aroma of that delicious decadent drink.

As students prepare for their end of year exams, we take a look at the career avenues available for those interested in further education.

Endeavour Speciality Chemicals has been taking industrial placement students since 2008. The placement is open to students who are enrolled on chemistry degree courses that have the option to take a year in industry. Whilst at Endeavour, the placement student is employed within the Research & Development department where they spend a year working in an industry setting on a synthetic chemistry project. The project is designed to be relevant to both the academic course and the needs of the business. Endeavour always strives to make the placement year as beneficial as possible for both the student and the company, as such we have had a clear run of 1st class awards for both the placement year and final degree for all of our past students to date.

Feature: James Harnedy took on a Placement Chemist role with Endeavour Speciality Chemicals in 2017-2018, whilst studying Medicinal and Biological Chemistry at the University of Nottingham. Carrying out his placement at Endeavour gave James a real insight into the role of a Chemist, as well as the practical theory and skills to apply to his degree. Now at the end of his final year of studies, James has decided to pursue a career in chemistry and has recently been offered a position as a Synthetic Chemist at a UK based Custom Research Organisation. “I know I wouldn’t have even been considered if it were not for my year at Endeavour”, said James. The practical experience and employability skills gained by doing an industrial placement year is invaluable when applying for a job amongst other graduate applicants.

Whilst working for Endeavour, students are encouraged to learn about the chemical manufacturing industry through industry publications, participating in meetings across departments and attending symposia. This increased awareness of the industry can allow students to make better informed decisions when decided what career path to pursue.
