Varying Styles of Fruit Flavors: Passion Fruit Flavor

Passion fruit flavor is a natural flavor additive widely used in the food, beverage, cosmetics and tobacco industries. Its characteristic is that it can highly reproduce the unique aroma and sweet-sour taste of passion fruit.

1. Aroma and Flavor Characteristics
The passion fruit essence has a core aroma of tropical fruits, blending the fragrances of pineapple, mango, and guava, and combining refreshing sweetness and delicate floral scents.
Its flavor profile is rich, with a bright top note (initial aroma), a full body note, and a long-lasting base note (aftertaste), highly replicating the sensory experience of natural passion fruit.
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Form: Includes liquid (water-soluble/oil-soluble), powder, and water-oil dual-purpose types, meeting different process requirements.
Stability: Resistant to high temperatures (baking), durable for boiling (beverage processing), and resistant to freeze-thaw (ice cream), with excellent processing adaptability.
Solubility: Liquid essence is easily soluble in ethanol and propylene glycol; powder essence can be directly mixed with dry ingredients.
3. Core Component Composition
Natural passion fruit contains over 81 volatile substances, with esters accounting for the highest proportion (such as ethyl butyrate, ethyl hexanoate), imparting the characteristic fruit aroma; aldehydes (such as hexanal) and terpenoids (such as linalool) contribute to the green and floral notes.
