The Science Behind Flavours
KH Roberts is a flavouring pioneer in the Southeast Asia region.
We have raised the bar for flavouring through market proven heat stable flavours and through our proprietary flavour encapsulation technique. Caproma® encapsulated flavours provide high shelf-life stability for aroma impact and cost-efficient performance.
On top of these innovative flavouring solutions, we’ve also mastered the basics, building upon classic flavour portfolios like vanilla, chocolate, coffee, floral, fruit, botanicals, and more for over 55 years.
Innovative technologies and classic flavour portfolios
- Masking off-notes in foods like plant-based meat and dairy and health and nutrition products
- Assuring consistent product quality – especially after processing
- Enhancing lost or absent flavour notes such as authentic meat aromas and citrus notes in fruits
- Introducing new aromas and tastes to exceed consumer expectations
You Need Flavours that Perform
Taste is Everything
How a product tastes is paramount to its success. If customers don’t love the taste – your product won’t last long. Our innovative aroma and taste profiles are curated with your customers in mind.
Time to Market is Vital
Every day your product isn’t on the market, your competition is gaining market share. You need to create new flavours quickly and efficiently. We pride ourselves on quick turnarounds and efficient collaborations.
Local Flavour Matters
Consumer preferences vary by market and region – and they demand authentic flavour. Your products’ flavour must align with local palettes. Our teams throughout Asia make this possible.

The KH Roberts Difference
Innovation and Creation
We see ourselves as more than flavouring suppliers, we see ourselves as crafters of flavours. Our team is always curious, always pushing boundaries to find out what’s possible. As crafters, we see the flavours we design beyond just a solution to our customers, they are works of art that satisfy consumers’ taste and sensorial experience.
This passion for discovery is what drives our culture of innovation to uncover new and unique flavours that delight the world whether through products such as beverages, baked goods, confectioneries or savouries. KH Roberts charts our vision and commits to innovating in a way that will have a deeply positive impact on the science and technology of aroma and taste today and tomorrow.
Innovation and Creation
End-to-End Flavour Process
End-to-End Flavour Process
Crafting great flavours is an end-to-end process, from sourcing and extracting nature’s best to the end-consumer experience. It’s about discovering the best ingredients, capturing aromas and tastes on the right formats (liquid, paste, encapsulated or powder), and assuring the right innovative practices and processes are in place to keep pace with market demands and deliver an end-product that guarantees delight.
Proof of our commitment to innovation is best seen in our flagship flavour range Caproma® , produced using our time-proven proprietary flavour encapsulation technique. We were the first regional flavour house to set up full scale commercial production and R&D facilities of flavour encapsulation in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Co-creation and Collaboration
We thrive on collaboration, we’re eager to know what’s next, and we’re passionate about bringing the best talent together to provide value and craft the next innovative product.
As a collaborator, we provide a platform to facilitate the highest levels of innovation and creation with our co-creators regionally, helping us anticipate future consumer needs and utilise in-house research & development, innovative practices, and our partners to create future-ready aroma and taste solutions. We’ve recently participated in Asia’s Great Snack Challenge, the APS Show in Singapore, and the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit.
