At Saena Baking Co., precision matters in both flavor use and ingredient declaration. The following dosage ranges are Angel Bake starting recommendations. Adjust them for the individual flavor, recipe, process, and desired sensory result.
How Much Culinary Aromatics Extract to Use?
- Liquids and Recipes Without Baking: Begin with 3 to 5 drops per cup. This range works well for beverages, honey, fillings, syrups, creams, and other applications that are not exposed to baking temperatures.
- Baked Goods: Begin with 5 to 6 drops per cup. The additional flavor helps compensate for aroma that may be reduced during baking.
Taste and bench test before scaling. Some flavors may require less. A stronger sensory target or a demanding process may require more.
Choose the Appropriate Format
- Culinary Aromatics: Alcohol based, natural, unadulterated FTNF flavors for beverages, syrups, cocktails, finishing, aqueous systems, and compatible culinary applications.
- Pure Infusions: MCT based flavor oils that are often the optimal starting point for chocolate, cocoa liquor, ice cream, candy, cake batter, breads, buttercreams, fillings, sauces, dressings, and other oil or fat phase formulations. They also suit many high heat processes.
- Culinary Crystals: Made to order dry flavors for dry blending and immediate dispersion.
- Encapsulated Essences: Made to order dry flavors for applications that benefit from flavor protection during processing or storage.
Tips for Flavor and Aroma
In syrups, jams, sauces, and creams, later addition can help retain fresh aroma when the process allows it. In other products, earlier addition may be needed for dispersion or processing. Test the flavor in the actual formula and complete production cycle.
Culinary Aromatics can also be applied as a finishing mist. A light spray places concentrated aroma at the surface of a finished food, creating an effect similar to a culinary perfume. Establish the correct dosage and application method before service.
Declaring Flavor Ingredients
Ingredient declaration belongs in the product’s ingredient statement, not the Nutrition Facts panel. Saena provides product specifications to support the customer’s labeling review.
Depending on the product, formulation, jurisdiction, and applicable regulations, the declaration may use a term such as:
- Natural flavor or natural flavoring
- A named extract, when the specification and applicable standard support that declaration
Do not select a declaration from this article alone. Use the specification for the exact ingredient purchased and confirm the finished label with the responsible regulatory professional. Requirements can change according to product category, market, and jurisdiction.
Quality, Documentation, and Support
Angel Bake Culinary Aromatics are natural, unadulterated FTNF flavors. Saena can provide the appropriate product specification and discuss format selection, recommended use, and application testing without disclosing proprietary formulation details.
