About flavors
Flavors are added to foods to give them a particular smell and/or taste. A flavor can consist of numerous flavoring substances, flavoring extracts, thermally obtained reaction flavors, smoke flavors and flavor precursors. Our flavors are made from purely natural resources.
A flavor is not a single substance, but always a complex mixture of a large number of individual substances (water phase), which usually occur in food only in very small quantities. With about 300 different volatile aroma substances, apples are among the fruits with the most varied aroma composition.
Our tongue is only responsible for the main tastes, such as sour, bitter or salty. We can only perceive the aroma of food and beverages when their scent, literally, rises to our noses.
In baking, cooking, in the morning müsli or yogurt, in the sauce to a hearty roast, in salad dressings, in baked goods and confectionery, in desserts and sweet dishes or as a special kick in teas, soft drinks and cocktails. Or simply in water.
The use of flavors in the preparation of food & beverages brings many benefits. Natural flavors that are lost during baking or cooking are replaced, for example. Also enhance the flavor of the food used or give your drink that special touch.
To flavor a liter of water, about 10 drops are recommended. With a 10ml aroma can be flavored up to 20 liters of water. We recommend after mixing the aroma a few minutes in the water to act, so that the intensityät increases.
In most cases, little taste in water has to do with water hardness. It is recommended to test a bottled water. In hard water the taste can be limited. For this purpose, some of our customers use a water softener. Every person perceives tastes and odors differently in their intensity. Therefore, it is advisable to adjust the dosage from the bottom up to one's own individual taste.
Taste triggers, such as fats, sugars or other sweeteners, also play an important role in the finished creation. It is also possible to use the sweetness made of apple, honey, birch sugar, dates, etc.. Whether low-calorie, light or calorie bomb, we leave this decision up to you.
Of course, we only use extracts and distillates of natural resources for our flavors. Our natural flavors are produced by physical, enzymatic or microbiological processes from plant, animal or microbiological resources. Our flavors are made from nuts, fruits, herbs, vegetables, stems, flowers and leaves.
Our flavors are sugar-free, fat-free, lactose-free and vegan. Our flavors are made from natural resources and without additives. You determine the sweetener at home yourself - such as stevia, sweetener or sugar.
Many flavorings are very flavor intensive and are difficult to process in concentrated form. For dilution, therefore, carriers, such as alcohol or starch, are used and mixed with the flavorings. Up to 0.2% alcohol may be present in myAROMA's processed ready-to-eat foods. The dehydrating agents serve to improve the dosage of the flavors in the food. This allows them to be better distributed in the food. Some flavors contain additives for technological reasons, such as preservatives or antioxidants to improve their shelf life. Like the flavorings themselves, these additives have been extensively tested and approved by lawmakers.
We neglect the indication of calories. The reason for this is that the calorie count of our flavors has almost no effect on your final product created with them.
The following example: if you mix 1 liter of water with 10 drops (equivalent to 0.5 grams) of myAROMA, then the flavor will be diluted at a ratio of 1:2000. So the few calories that are in our natural and highly concentrated flavors have almost no effect on your final product. You determine the calorie count yourself.
The aroma in the 10 ml bottle smells very fresh. With larger openings there will be deviations. This is due to the fact that more aroma can escape at once and more volatile substances also come out of the bottle. If you want to do an smell test before you use the aroma, we recommend - similar to chemicals - fan the scent instead of inhaling it. The wider neck of the bottle lets more substances escape. These substances can cause a burning sensation in the nose. Don't let that put you off! The use and effect of the aroma remain the same. No matter what size bottle. Even if the smell causes irritation at first, the drops taste the same as soon as they are in the end product or carrier.
Alcohol is an important carrier and solvent for flavors. The amount of alcohol (ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerol triacetate) that reaches the end product via a flavoring is between 0.01 and 0.2 percent. By comparison, grape juice naturally contains up to one percent alcohol. All beverages and foods are considered alcohol-free if their alcohol content is so low that it no longer has any detectable effect on alcohol-sensitive people or gives rise to fear. An alcohol content of 0.2 to 0.5 percent by volume is considered medically safe. Thus, there is no evidence that any health effects are to be expected from the alcohol that is üintroduced into food via a flavoring.
The experiment has shown that you can smell the aromas in the pods, but you don't "taste" them like the original. Our recommendation is therefore not to drip the aromas into the fragrance pod, but directly into the water.
Our flavors are unsweetened, zero-calorie, fat-free, lactose-free, gluten-free and vegan. They are not only suitable for cooking and baking! The flavors can also be used to add more flavor to the water. With a 10ml bottle you can flavor about 20 liters of water. Cool right?! For even more taste, you can combine your favorite aroma with our Aroma Boost. Woodruff, pomegranate, elderflower, ginger and raspberry are particularly good for the taste in the water.
When using flavors in dairy products, you usually have to use more drops + flavorings (depending on your own taste). Dairy foods, such as quark and protein shakes, naturally convey the least flavor. This makes it even more important to use flavor carriers. Protein shakes and the like need these sweeteners to bring out the taste of the aroma. The dosage may also vary depending on the original product. For example, if 10 drops are sufficient for one brand of yogurt, it may be that 20 drops are needed for the next brand of yogurt to achieve the best personal taste. In short: 10 different starting products result in 10 different dosages. It always depends on the flavors in the product.
