Key takeaways (on MANE acquisition of ChemoSensoryx Biosciences
- MANE has acquired Belgian biotech firm ChemoSensoryx Biosciences.
- The deal enhances MANE’s expertise in olfactory, gustatory and trigeminal receptors.
- ChemoSensoryx’s platform enables advanced screening and predictive modelling.
- The acquisition supports innovation in flavour and fragrance solutions.
- Focus areas include odour control, taste modulation and sensory performance.
French flavours and fragrances company MANE has acquired the Belgian biotech company ChemoSensoryx Biosciences, which specialises in the molecular mechanisms of chemosensory perception induced by olfactory, gustatory and trigeminal receptors.
The firm said the acquisition will deepen its scientific understanding of how odours, tastes and sensations such as freshness or spiciness are perceived. By combining MANE’s expertise with ChemoSensoryx’s advanced research, MANE will be able to create more innovative and precise flavour and fragrance solutions, enhancing its ability to deliver unique sensory experiences that consumers love.
‘With an experienced team of scientists with strong expertise in molecular and cellular biology, ChemoSensoryx is a leading research company in the field of olfactory, gustatory and trigeminal receptors,’ said Samantha Mane, President of the MANE Group, speaking about the acquisition.
Why MANE’s acquisition of ChemoSensoryx matters for flavour and fragrance innovation
Mane said that the business move will strengthen MANE’s ability to provide global and evolving expertise in flavour and fragrance solutions and enable the creation of sustainable and successful products.
ChemoSensoryx develops high-throughput screening methodologies covering the entire repertoire of human olfactory, gustatory and trigeminal receptors. Its platform offers new ways to discover and optimise active ingredients that are capable of modulating these human sensory receptors, thus enabling the development of advanced sensory solutions for the flavour and fragrance industries.
According to the flavours and fragrances manufacturer, ChemoSensoryx’s technology platform for receptor-based screening and predictive modelling can improve its capabilities in several areas, including:
- Odour control and blooming technologies.
- Taste modulation research: deepening understanding of sensory perceptions.
- Olfactory receptor modulation to guide design of flavours and fragrances capable of triggering targeted emotional and physiological responses.
- Trigeminal receptor modulation to support advanced research programmes aimed at modulating sensory performances, such as freshness, spiciness, tingling or burning.
