The essential oils industry in Tasmania is progressing with investigation of novel, uniquely Tasmanian products. To that end, research has continued with Tasmannia lanceolata extract, following wide-ranging interest from overseas flavour and fragrance companies.
Market potential has been established in Japan, Europe and the United States. However, the product has remained largely unsaleable due to a lack of formal registration and confirmation of its safety for use in perfumes and flavourings in Europe and the United States.
