The following are the main application areas of food flavors:

### **1. Meat processing**

– **High-temperature meat products** (such as ham, canned food): High-temperature resistant oil flavors or heat-reactive flavors are required to compensate for the loss of flavor caused by high-temperature sterilization.

– **Low-temperature meat products** (such as cold cuts, ready-to-eat meat): Highly volatile flavors are required to enhance the aroma when eaten at low temperatures.

– **Chinese meat products** (such as braised meat, bacon): Combine traditional flavors and use customized flavors to enhance the aroma, such as braised beef flavor and braised flavor.

### **2. Convenient food**

– **Instant noodles, instant rice noodles**: Add meat flavors (such as beef and chicken flavors) to enhance the aroma of the soup base.

– **Pre-prepared dishes**: such as self-heating rice and quick-frozen dumplings, use flavors to maintain the “freshly made” flavor, such as wok flavors to simulate the aroma of stir-frying.

### **3. Snack foods**

– **Puffed foods, spicy strips**: Use flavors to enhance the flavor, such as spicy strips flavors and barbecue flavors.

– **Biscuits, potato chips**: Add high-temperature resistant flavors (such as cheese flavors and onion flavors) to enhance the taste.

### **4. Condiments**

– **Chicken essence, seasoning sauce**: Use meat flavors (such as pork essence powder and old hen spices) to enhance the umami taste.

– **Hot pot base, soup**: Add flavors (such as beef bone soup flavors) to simulate the flavor of boiling.

### **5. Baked foods**

– **Bread, cakes**: Use flavors (such as vanilla extract and cream flavors) to cover up the egg smell and enhance the aroma.

– **Chocolate products**: Add chocolate flavors to enhance the fullness of the flavor.

### **6. Beverages and desserts**

– **Juice, carbonated drinks**: Use fruit flavors (such as mango flavor, lemon flavor) to enhance the fruity aroma.

– **Ice cream, candy**: Add flavors (such as strawberry flavor, mint flavor) to enrich the taste.

### **7. Catering industry**

– **Chain restaurants**: Use standardized flavors to ensure consistent flavors in each branch, such as stewed flavors and barbecue flavors.

– **Fast food industry**: For example, fried chicken and hamburgers, use flavors to enhance the meaty aroma.

### **8. Other applications**

– **Pet food**: Add meaty flavors to improve palatability.

– **Cosmetics and daily chemicals**: Some flavors (such as mango flavor) are used in skin care products and perfumes.

### **Summary**

The application of food flavors covers almost all areas of processed food, from meat products to beverages, baked goods, and standardized catering production. Its core role is **to make up for the loss of processing flavor, enhance food attractiveness, and reduce costs**. However, reasonable and compliant use is key, as excessive or illegal addition may pose health risks.
