I want a new flavour for my product - what factors do I need to consider?

Application

Bake stable Is the flavour to be applied into a product which reaches high temperatures during production eg a boiled sweet or a product which will be heated before it is eaten? If the answer is yes then the flavour will need to be bake stable, ie containing ingredients with a low volatility.

Flavour status What does the legal status of the flavour need to be? ie Artificial, Nature Identical, Natural or Organic. Statuses vary from one country to another. We can check local legislation and recommend accordingly.

Solubility Does the flavour need to be water soluble or oil soluble?

pH of productThe pH of the final product will have an affect on taste. It is useful to know if this will be acid or alkali.

Target dosage level This is an important factor to consider when calculating the cost in use of a flavour.

Target price Given the ever increasing pressure on costs in todays manufacturing industries, price is now more than ever an important factor when creating new products. We will always try to provide the best possible quality / value package possible.
