Chlorophenol Flavour Standard
FlavorActiV’s Chlorophenol Flavour Standard is a high-quality GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified standard designed to help sensory professionals identify and understand the chlorophenol off-flavour in food and beverages.
Chlorophenols, specifically 2,6-dichlorophenol, are chemical compounds that can impart undesirable medicinal or disinfectant-like tastes and aromas to drinks. These off-flavours often result from water contamination or the presence of sanitising agents during beverage production. Recognising and eliminating chlorophenol taints is vital for ensuring consistent quality and consumer satisfaction in the beverage industry.

What Causes Chlorophenol Off-Flavour?
Chlorophenol taints typically result from improper rinsing of cleaning agents during the Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) process. If cleaning chemicals remain in equipment such as pipes, tanks, or vessels, they may later come into contact with raw materials or finished products, potentially leading to contamination.
This issue can also arise in consumer delivery systems, such as beer taps or fountain dispensers, where residue buildup introduces unwanted flavours into beverages. The result is a distinct medicinal or hospital-like character, often off-putting to consumers.
How does the Chlorophenol Flavour Standard help?
The Chlorophenol Flavour Standard is used by beverage manufacturers to assess and evaluate the intensity of chlorophenol off-flavours. This sensory standard helps tasters compare the flavour of a sample against a known reference, enabling them to accurately gauge the severity of the contamination and take corrective action.
Why Use Chlorophenol Flavour Standards in Quality Control?
Quality control is crucial in the beverage industry, and FlavorActiV’s Chlorophenol Flavour Standard supports this by providing a reliable reference point for sensory analysis. By training tasters to detect and evaluate chlorophenol off-flavours, beverage producers can ensure their products meet consumer expectations for taste and quality.
Flavour Taints and Other Chemical Contaminants
Chlorophenol is just one of the many chemical cleaning taints that can affect beverages. We offer a wide range of other chemical taints, including medicinal and chlorine flavours, to help you ensure product consistency.

FlavorActiV GMP Flavour Standards
Only Pharmaceutical Quality GMP Flavour Standards provide sufficient quality for professional sensory panels to train and validate with.
We produce encapsulated GMP (Pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practice) Flavour Standards that are safe to both smell and drink. The compounds within our capsules impart the aroma, taste and mouthfeel of a specific defect or positive flavour into a beverage for the purposes of taster training, calibration and quality control.
Our individual flavour GMP Flavour Standards are sold by flavour, each flavour pack contains 5 capsules, each separately blister packaged. Our sensory kits contain a mixture of flavours, each separately blister packaged, read the product description for flavour details.
We ship globally, and have over 20 years of experience at it. Our GMP Pharmaceutical Flavour Standards are produced to the highest standards, and as such, their shelf-life is strong and their quality consistent.
FlavorActiV’s flavour centre is the world’s only pharmaceutically run facility dedicated to the production of flavour reference standards. The Flavour Centre is a state-of-the-art facility housed within the campus of world-renowned Quay Pharma near Liverpool in the U.K.
The Flavour Centre was designed by FlavorActiV from the ground up at the direct request of global customers as they looked to move away from inferior food grade ‘certified flavour standards’ to GMP Pharma, a standard that ensures safe, stable, traceable, consistent and long shelf-life products.
All FlavorActiV’s industry-leading encapsulated flavour standards are manufactured following GMP at our Flavour Centre. All aspects of manufacture are overseen by Quay Pharma who are audited by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.K. Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory agency (MHRA). We also welcome customer audits.
Only FlavorActiV GMP flavour standard capsules bear our mark of authenticity.
We brand each of our capsules so that our customers know they’re getting the Pharmaceutical GMP Quality that only FlavorActiV provide.
Industry leading packaging and shelf-life
FlavorActiV flavour standards are blister packaged, which extends shelf-life and protects capsules from potential contamination. The average shelf-life of FlavorActiV flavour standards is 18 months to 4 years, depending on the flavour compounds.
We will never ship in pots or plastic packaging, here’s why…
Blister packaging protects capsules from the environment until they are ready for use. Blister packaging greatly reduces the amount of headspace for possible flavour escape. As each capsule individually blister packaged, making use of one capsule still leaves all others protected. FlavorActiV Flavour Standard packaging is 100% recyclable, as opposed to polypropylene which is not widely recycled.
Pots are semi-porous, they allow molecules to pass through and flavour to be lost, their significant headspace also adds to substantial flavour escape as a gas, even when using just one capsule all those remaining in the pot are exposed.
