Pineapple flavor: concentrated tropical sunshine, lighting up thousands of flavors

1. Core features of pineapple flavor

Iconic flavor, accurate reproduction:

The core charm of pineapple flavor lies in its highly characteristic flavor.

Distinctive effect: A small amount of addition can give the product a clear and easily recognizable pineapple flavor, including sweet and sour, juicy and unique “pineapple” aroma, with direct and efficient effect.

Various forms, convenient application:
To meet different processing needs, pineapple flavor has a variety of forms:
Water-soluble liquid flavor: The most commonly used, easily soluble in water-based systems, easy to add to beverages, jellies, syrups, dairy products, baking fillings, etc., and evenly dispersed.
Oil-soluble liquid flavor: Soluble in oil, suitable for candy coatings, chocolate, ice cream, baking oils, certain oil-based seasonings, etc.
Powder flavor: Made by spray drying, microencapsulation and other technologies. High stability, easy to transport and store, especially suitable for solid beverage powder, premixed powder (cake powder, pudding powder), powder seasoning, tableted candy, puffed snack coating, etc.
Emulsified flavors: Stably disperse oil-soluble flavor substances in water to form an emulsion, which is often used in turbid beverages, milk beverages, jams/fruit fillings that require water solubility, etc., which may increase turbidity while providing flavor.

Controllable stability and adaptability to processing:
Depending on the application scenario, the design of pineapple flavors will consider thermal stability and pH stability.
For high-temperature processing (such as baking, candy boiling), heat-resistant flavors can be selected to reduce flavor loss.
For acidic environments (such as carbonated beverages, fruit juice drinks), acid-resistant flavors can be selected to ensure long-lasting and stable flavors.
High-quality flavors also have good storage stability and can maintain their flavor profile during the shelf life.
