ISO 9001 Certified Caramel Fragrance Flavor Water Soluble Food
Fragrance
Product Code: LDZ-PL100085
The water-soluble caramel fragrance flavor is a food-grade liquid
flavoring designed to impart the rich, warm, and sweet notes of
caramelized sugar. Its key characteristic is its solubility in
water, making it highly versatile for a wide range of food and
beverage applications where oil-based flavors might not blend
effectively.
Its liquid form ensures even distribution and precise flavor
control. It generally offers good stability in both hot and cold
processing environments.
Flavor Profile
The flavor profile of a quality water-soluble caramel food flavor
is complex and designed to mimic the three-stage experience of
perfectly caramelized sugar, though the specific chemical compounds
(like Maltol, Diacetyl, and furanones) are formulated for stability
in a liquid, water-based solution.
| Top Notes | Middle Notes | Base Notes |
|---|
| The flavor immediately hits with a bright, upfront sweet-aromatic
note, often described as marshmallow creme or pure toasted sugar. A
fleeting buttery or butterscotch element (due to compounds like
diacetyl) provides the first comforting layer. | This is the heart of the caramel flavor—rich, smooth, and
full-bodied. Key notes are creamy milk, rich toffee, and deep brown
sugar. It carries the characteristic, slightly nutty/roasted hints
that come from the Maillard reaction and sugar pyrolysis. | The base provides depth and longevity. It is characterized by a
mellow, lingering sweetness and a subtle molasses or very mild
bittersweet note, which prevents the flavor from tasting flat. A
hint of vanilla or praline often anchors the finish, giving it a
comforting, indulgent trail. |
The final profile is a smooth, sweet, and comforting blend that
works exceptionally well in beverages, dairy, and baking
applications.

Functional Properties
The functional properties of a water-soluble caramel food flavor
are largely centered around its stability, solubility, and ability
to modify the overall sensory profile of the food or beverage
matrix.
| Excellent Solubility | As a water-soluble flavor, it dissolves completely and immediately
into water-based systems like soft drinks, juices, dairy, and
syrups. This ensures even flavor distribution and prevents the
issues of separation, oil slick, or cloudiness (flocculation) that
can occur with oil-soluble flavors. |
| Thermal and pH Stability | High-quality flavors are engineered to be stable across a wide
range of processing temperatures (pasteurization, baking) and pH
levels (acidity). This is crucial for maintaining a consistent,
true-to-profile caramel taste without degradation, especially in
acidic beverages (like colas) or high-heat baked goods. |
| Flavor Masking/Enhancement | It functions as a powerful flavor modifier. It can be used to mask
undesirable off-notes or bitter tastes common in certain
ingredients, such as protein powders, vitamins, or alternative
sweeteners. Conversely, its inherent sweetness and toasty notes can
boost or round out other complementary flavors, like vanilla,
coffee, or chocolate. |
| Color Contribution | While primarily a flavor, the compounds used (often related to
caramel color additives) often impart a desirable warm brown/amber
tint. This synergistic effect enhances the visual appeal, aligning
the expected caramel color with the sensory experience and making
the product look richer. |
Applications & Benefits
The versatility and stability of water-soluble caramel flavor make
it a staple ingredient across numerous food and beverage
categories, often used in a highly concentrated form to deliver
maximum impact with minimal dosage.
| Beverages (Primary Use) | This is where water-solubility is key. It is widely applied in
coffee creamers and specialty coffee (lattes, macchiatos),
carbonated soft drinks (colas), flavored teas, dairy and
plant-based milk alternatives, and even alcoholic beverages
(liqueurs, flavored spirits). |
| Dairy and Frozen Desserts | It provides a consistent, rich flavor in applications like ice
cream bases, yogurts, puddings, and custards, where its liquid form
easily blends with the high-moisture content. |
| Confectionery and Baking | It is used in cake batters, cookie doughs, frostings, and fillings
(like chocolate truffles or chewy caramel centers). Its stability
ensures the flavor survives the high temperatures of the oven,
delivering a warm, toasted note to the final baked product. |
| Syrups and Sauces | The flavor is the backbone of commercial caramel syrups for drinks
and dessert toppings, providing a more consistent and
cost-effective profile than creating caramel from scratch. |
