Flavometrix

Flavometrix is a privately owned contract research organisation, based in the grounds of the University of Nottingham. We assist clients all over the world, by providing innovative solutions to flavour and aroma problems. We specialise in strategic short to long term projects in the Food, Beverage and Personal Care sector.

We recognise that each client's needs are unique, which is why we prepare a proposal specifically tailored for that particular project. We're a small company, which means it's easy for clients to get in touch and discuss their needs direct with the scientists who understand their problems.

Established in 2004, we've developed a long list of repeat clients who continue to work with us because of our high quality science; quality of service and constant innovation.
