Integrated in Chennai

Ideas,
taken to scale.

One 105,000 sq ft environment connecting flavour creation, application science, analytical capability, quality control and commercial manufacturing.

Inside the plant

Four lines,
under one roof.

Liquid compounding, emulsions, spray drying and agglomeration run inside the same site as the laboratories that judge them. Hover a line to see how its machinery works.

One connected environment

Depth without disconnects.

A customer brief can move from flavourist to application scientist, analytical team, quality control and production without losing the original sensory target.

Agglomerated powders

Agglomerated flavour powders designed to support wetting, dispersion and handling in the customer’s formulation.

Natural extraction

Extraction,
on our own plant.

Lux operates its own extraction capability, so natural extracts and aroma boosters are produced under the same roof and the same quality discipline as the flavours built from them.

Technical infrastructure

Created, tested and judged in context.

Manufacturing scale is supported by the teams and laboratories that determine whether a flavour actually works in the finished product.

R&D & flavour creation

Formulation, sensory construction, refinement and specialised flavour platforms.

Application laboratories

Beverage, dairy, bakery, confectionery, nutrition and pharmaceutical product trials.

Quality & sensory evaluation

Analytical support, quality control and finished-product sensory judgement.

Analytical support

Analytics inform.
Sensory decides.

Instruments confirm identity and consistency. Experienced flavourists and a sensory panel decide whether the flavour is right for the product.

GC-MSGas chromatography with mass spectrometryIdentity and composition of a flavour or raw material
GC-FIDGas chromatography, flame ionisationBatch-to-batch consistency against the approved profile
HPLCHigh-performance liquid chromatographyNon-volatile components and specification checks
SENSORYTrained panel, in the finished productThe decision: does it taste right where it has to work

Analytical scope depends on the product and specification. Instruments support the flavourist; they do not replace the panel.

Material to dispatch

Controlled from
intake to container.

Temperature-sensitive materials, approved raw materials, finished goods and export dispatch are all handled inside the same site, under one traceability system.
