Flavor Concentrates

What Is a Flavor Concentrate?

Nature’s Flavors liquid flavor concentrates are extremely concentrated water-soluble liquids set in a natural gum acacia base. Most of our concentrated flavorings do not contain sugar or alcohol, with the exception of a few flavors. Every flavored concentrate in this category is all-natural, kosher, vegan, and gluten-free.

These flavoring concentrates are made to withstand high temperatures for a long duration. They are heat stable up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, making them perfect for most baking applications and pasteurized products. As such, the concentrated flavorings are great in any hot or cold water-based food or drink application. As some flavors are lost at high temperatures, please adjust the concentration upward slightly. Flavoring concentrates are also great in cold applications, such as ice creams, frozen yogurts, cold beverages, and other frozen products, as they freeze readily due to the fact they are alcohol-free.

Why Use a Flavor Concentrate Instead of an Extract?

Our flavoring concentrates contain no alcohol and are more heat stable than a flavor extract. This makes liquid concentrates better suited for high-heat applications. When using flavor concentrates for baking, the recommended usage starts at 0.05% to 0.5%, so use sparingly! As their name suggests, concentrated flavors are concentrated! Flavoring concentrates often appear as a cloudy or opaque-colored liquid. If your beverage, baking, or cooking application calls for a clear liquid flavor, we also carry clear flavor concentrates.

Our flavorists have created unique flavors of our concentrated flavorings, including tiramisu, butter, dragon fruit, cola, coconut, root beer, black cherry, sour apple, acai, quinine, and banana split. These beverage and food flavor concentrates will satisfy any taste bud craving!

At Nature’s Flavors, we also offer organic flavor concentrates, natural flavoring concentrates, and organic flavor concentrates without diacetyl. See our entire selection of extracts and flavorings for even more flavor options.
