Core and Uncommon Replacements and Extenders

Struggling with Raw Material Shortages? We Have Customized Solutions.

Climate challenges, economic shifts, geopolitical tensions – the new normal means market complexity and raw-material unpredictability. But while others are scrambling, we’ve been developing solutions that work for you.

Enter IFF CURE™, built to support both Core and Uncommon Replacements and Extenders, as well as broader REformulations.

Spotlight On: Coffee

Build Confidence into Every Coffee Experience

Coffee is more than a flavor. It’s an expectation — rich aroma, roasted depth and the ritual consumers return to every day. But behind every cup, brands are navigating rising costs, climate disruption and supply uncertainty that can challenge consistency and margins.

IFF CURE™ Core and Uncommon Replacements and Extenders preserve the taste, body and satisfaction consumers expect while reducing reliance on coffee solids. From smooth roast notes to rounded mouthfeel, our solutions are designed to protect quality without compromising flexibility. Through advanced coffee flavor science, sensory expertise and formulation precision, we help you optimize recipes, manage volatility and innovate with confidence.
