Del Monte Corporation (NYSE: DMC), one of the world's leading vertically integrated producers, distributors and marketers of fresh and shelf-stable produce, and Treatt, a global manufacturer of natural extracts and ingredients for the flavor, fragrance and consumer goods market, today announced the launch of a new range of fruit-derived extracts designed for beverage applications.

As consumers increasingly seek transparency around what goes into the foods and beverages they purchase, brands are looking for ingredients derived from recognizable, real-food sources. The new range combines Del Monte's premium fruit supply with Treatt's extraction expertise to deliver authentic fruit extracts sourced from pineapple, watermelon, mango and cantaloupe.

The extracts are derived from premium fruit materials generated during Del Monte's processing operations, creating new value from portions of fruit not used in finished fresh-cut products. Through an upcycled sourcing model, the collaboration transforms these high-quality fruit materials into premium extracts while supporting a more sustainable food system.

"At Del Monte Corporation, we are continuously exploring new ways to maximize the value of every fruit we grow and source," said Deema Anani, Chief Commercial Officer, Speciality Ingredients Division at Del Monte Corporation. "This collaboration reflects how innovation and responsible sourcing can work hand in hand, creating high-quality fruit-derived ingredients that help our customers meet evolving consumer preferences."

The initial portfolio includes four extracts — Pineapple, Watermelon, Mango and Cantaloupe — each designed to deliver authentic fruit flavor and reliable performance across a range of beverage applications.

Developed using Treatt’s proprietary extraction expertise, the range is designed to capture authentic fruit character while delivering consistency and performance for beverage manufacturers seeking clean-label ingredient solutions.

“This launch is about more than a new ingredient range,” said Emma Bowles, Group Director of Category and Marketing at Treatt. “Consumers increasingly expect beverages to deliver authentic taste, recognizable ingredients, and stronger sustainability credentials. By combining Del Monte’s fruit supply with Treatt’s natural extraction and ingredient expertise, we’ve created a range that helps brands meet all three demands without compromise.”
