ALD Unveils Natural Tobacco Flavor Solution at InterTabac 2026
Natural Tobacco Extract Technology for Changing European Markets
ALD presented NTE as a Natural Tobacco Flavor Solution at InterTabac 2026
From September 15 to 17, ALD participated in InterTabac 2026 in Dortmund, Germany, where it presented its NTE Natural Tobacco Extract technology for the first time. Developed in response to tightening flavor restrictions across European markets and growing demand for a more authentic tobacco experience, NTE attracted considerable attention throughout the three-day event.
NTE Takes Center Stage at the ALD Booth
NTE formed a key part of ALD's exhibition at InterTabac 2026. A prominent wall poster introduced the technology as a Natural Tobacco Flavor Solution, while a dedicated product display allowed visitors to explore NTE samples and discuss potential applications with the ALD team.
The presentation highlighted how NTE can help brands respond to regulatory changes while meeting higher expectations for tobacco flavor quality, depth and consistency.

What Is NTE
NTE is a modular natural tobacco flavor reconstruction system that integrates tobacco flavor layered extraction and reconstruction technologies.
Through the multi-process treatment of natural tobacco materials, including extraction, aroma fractionation and modular flavor reconstruction, NTE creates a more authentic, layered and consistent tobacco profile for vaping products. Unlike conventional tobacco e-liquid formulations that rely mainly on synthetic flavor blending, NTE separates and reconstructs different aroma components to simulate the progressive flavor release associated with traditional tobacco.
Six Key Advantages of NTE
ALD highlighted fine core product advantages at the exhibition:
- Authentic Cigarette Experience
- Multi-layered Flavor
- High Consistency
- High Customizability
- Purer and Safer
The NTE Working Process
The NTE process combines selected natural tobacco materials with staged purification, aroma separation and sensory optimization.
NTE uses a five-stage extraction and optimization process
| Stage | Process |
|---|---|
| 1 | Tobacco Raw Material Selection |
| 2 | Primary Purification |
| 3 | Secondary Purification |
| 4 | Aroma Separation and Refinement |
| 5 | Sensory Evaluation and Optimization |
