While many companies have produced flavors and essences for long periods of time, Sensus' approach sets them apart from the current manufacturers in terms of their product quality and unique approach to their industry. Their unique approach is highlighted in their three key business strategies. Utilization of Leading-Edge Process Technology Sensus is an extremely technology driven company. Sensus' entire approach for the products they develop and sell is to protect the inherent natural fresh flavor that resides within the horticultural products of interest. Sensus' objective is to employ leading edge equipment to capture these extremely fresh high quality flavor ingredients at their peak of quality. This objective has led Sensus to develop and implement an efficient integrated manufacturing approach. This process, with unit operations including - milling, distillation, aroma recovery, clarification, filtration, and concentration has been developed into a continuous system that captures the flavor ingredients at their optimal point of quality and then proceeds to make a concentrate that does not impart any heat-induced off notes. Sensus adopted this approach because of its extremely efficient removal of flavor volatiles from the biomas and its very high throughput capabilities. These characteristics result in the economical collection of the true flavor tonality from the horticultural material under consideration while eliminating any undesirable flavor offnotes from forming during processing. Flavor Collection at the Optimal Point of Quality Sensus utilizes their integrated manufacturing approach to collect the flavor from any horticultural material at it peak of quality. Sensus defines this optimal flavor quality moment as the source point. It is well understood that horticultural products have an extremely short shelf life. While some products have weeks of shelf life after harvesting, most degrade rapidly and many in as few as several hours after harvesting. An even more dramatic change is the changes associated with the flavor of the horticultural product. The fresh flavor associated with the products degrades at an even higher rate. By utilizing our approach at the source point of the horticultural products, the flavor collected is the true fresh flavor that one expects from fresh natural products. The flavor is void of the negative impact of post harvest changes and thermal effects associated with typical food processing. As an example, the source point for tomato and basil is as close to the growing field as possible where as for coffee it is as close to the roasting facility as possible. Formation of Essential Resource Alliances Sensus' recognizes that the primary food processors possess a wealth of knowledge and expertise regarding growing, harvesting and processing of their products. All of these unit operations have a significant impact on the flavor quality of the finished product. By establishing these ERA's, essential resource alliances, Sensus leverages the primary processors expertise and parlays this knowledge into high quality products that are offered to the food, beverage, and flavor industries. Sensus successful partnership with the Morning Star Packing Company exemplifies the value of this approach. Sensus employs these similar principles in their relationship with SupHerb Farms and their coffee roasting partner.
