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.
