Aromatech US spent three days at IFT FIRST 2026, held July 13 to 15 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Our team welcomed visitors at booth 4518 with three showcase applications built around current market demands.
The Chocolate Cannoli combined kataifi and pistachio in a format that drew steady crowds from opening to close. It was our fastest moving sample of the show.
On the beverage side, we presented two functional waters. A Cherry Grapefruit sparkling water demonstrated our masking work for creatine, a growing challenge as sports nutrition moves into mainstream beverages. A Lavender Soursop still water showed the same approach applied to probiotics. Both applications generated strong technical conversations with product developers working on functional formulations.
Attendance at the booth exceeded our expectations. We met product developers, R&D leaders, and sensory scientists from across beverage, bakery, dairy, and nutrition. And we left Chicago with a solid pipeline of new projects.
Thank you to everyone who visited us. If you missed the show and want to discuss a masking or flavor project, contact our Orlando team. We are already following up.
See you at IFT FIRST 2027.
