FLAVOURINGS

Flavour plays an important role in food and in life. Not only must food offer a balanced and nutritionally adequate diet, it must be palatable and diverse. These aspects are largely a function of flavour. Thus flavourings are an essential constituent of human food.Read more

FRAGRANCES

Fragrances, together with the sense of smell, add an invisible colour to everyday life and special occasions. A world without fragrances would be comparable to a world without music.Read more

MEMBER TESTIMONIALS

I just wanted to say thank you and well done – I think the information that SAAFFI has been transmitting and collating during the C19 period has been exceptional. We are lucky that, being part of a big corporate, most of it is taken care of by ‘others’ somewhere in the bowels of our operation but I imagine that for many small businesses you guys have been life savers !! Take a bow!

Charles KrügerFactory Optimisation Manager, Downstream - ILLOVO SUGAR (SOUTH AFRICA) (PTY) LTD

Thanks for the opportunity to post our vacancy for a technical sales person on the SAAFFI careers webpage, we were able to reach the right market and found the best person for the position.

CHEMGRIT

Our SAAFFI membership has proven to be informative, valuable, and with a healthy measure of fun at times! The representation by SAAFFI of the South African Flavour and Fragrance Industry’s interests on the complex, local regulatory interpretation of the Nagoya Protocol regarding indigenous biological resources and commercialisation thereof, has been most professional and frankly, most welcome. Is there sufficient value to us in this relationship? YES!

Dr J Gerhard NiemandManaging Director Puris (Pty) Ltd

The careers of many graduates from the Dept of Food Science at University of Pretoria are shaped in the flavour industry. SAAFFI plays an important role to expose and connect students to the exciting world of flavours and fragrances

Dr Riette de Kock

For me, being a Member of SAAFFI is as much about the commitment to the Code of Practice, as it is about what we gain from being a Member. The continuous flow of information and legislative updates from IFRA, IOFI and other regulatory changes is just one of the many benefits. It goes without saying that the annual seminar is a highlight on the SAAFFI calendar that we value being a part of. The careers webpage on the SAAFFI website is also a fantastic service to the industry.
