Solubility system decides the format
A flavour for a clear beverage must be water soluble and delivered as an emulsion or solubilised concentrate; a flavour for a cloudy juice can be oil based. Specifying the system first prevents haze and ringing problems later.
Dosage is set by the flavour, not by the beverage
Typical use is 0.05-0.3 percent, but a top-note citrus may need more and a base note far less. Trials should establish the level rather than starting from a standard figure.
Typical Applications
- Carbonated and still beverages — Water-soluble concentrates at 0.05-0.2 percent.
- Functional drinks — Masking blends that cover vitamins, minerals and sweetener notes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match an existing flavour?
Yes, from a retained sample. Allow three to four weeks for matching and stability trials.
Are allergen statements provided?
Yes, with every flavour along with GMO and vegan statements.
How should flavours be stored?
Cool, dark, in sealed containers. Citrus oils oxidise quickly once opened.
