Years ago, formulating beverages was relatively simple: most consumers just wanted great-tasting products. Today, beverage formulators must maintain their high standards for flavor while adapting to a wide range of label requirements. Modern consumers want products that are clean label, mineral and vitamin-fortified, low-calorie, sustainable, allergen-free, non-GMO, and organic-certified, to name just a few.
Mixed Berry Raspberry Type, Natural Flavor Blend
Mixed Berry Raspberry Type, Natural Flavor Blend was developed for use in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. A blend of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavors with raspberry predominant, this is a popular flavor combination for juice drinks, cider and seltzer. In most beverage applications we recommend a starting use level of 0.20% and adjust to desired impact is achieved.
Many customers, concerned about the integrity and safety of the food they purchase, want to know if our products meet certain criteria, which include among other - 100% natural, non-GMO, propylene glycol-free, minimally processed and preservative free. The term clean label has become a catch-all to describe products that meet these criteria. Our clean label extracts and flavors are all 100% natural, propylene glycol-free and in most cases non-GMO and preservative free. When preservative are needed we typically use rosemary extract and natural tocopherols.
Propylene glycol (often abbreviated PG) is an approved food additive that is widely used by food, pharmaceutical and beverage companies as a solvent and emulsifier. In flavors it is used with oil soluble essential oils and other oil soluble flavor ingredients to make them disperse in water. This ensures a flavor is homogeneous and will distribute evenly and without separation in aqueous food products.
Our selection of clean label products contains flavors that were originally formulated without propylene glycol, such as our pure extracts, as well as versions of some of our most popular flavors that we have reformulated to deliver the same excellent taste and performance without the propylene glycol. Typically, this reformulation involves replacing PG with a combination of ethyl alcohol and glycerin. The flavor profile, aroma and functionality of these reformulated flavors remains the same. We can offer almost any of our flavors as propylene glycol free. If you do not see what you are looking for, please contact us and to discuss your requirements.
