Flavor Ingredients – Frequently Asked Questions
What are natural flavors in food ingredients?
All flavor ingredients, including those used in food applications, are categorized into four basic types:
- Natural Extract – This means a flavor is 100% direct from the source. Natural extracts are also referred to as “from the named fruit,” or FTNF.
- Natural Flavor WONF – This denotes that the food ingredient includes natural extracts from the named fruit and other natural flavors. An example might be Apple WONF, which might describe natural apple extract with natural blueberry.
- Natural Flavor Type: For “type” flavors, all ingredients are natural, but the named fruit is not included. These are often derived from other fruit or botanical raw ingredients to mimic the flavor of the named fruit.
- Natural and Artificial – Also known as “N&A,” natural and artificial includes a natural ingredient supplemented with artificial ingredients.
Are terpenes found in food?
Terpenes are a natural compound found in plants. Terpenes characterize the aroma of a fruit or spice. Terpenes are also a critical element in the crafting of essential oils. Today, they have also become an important part of tailoring unique flavors of CBD oils and other cannabis products.
