Product Concept:
Maple syrup flavoring is a liquid/powder flavoring made from natural maple syrup or synthetic flavorings, diluted with food-grade solvents or spray-dried. It possesses a typical complex aroma of “caramel sweetness + nutty + smoky + woody,” compensating for the loss of maple aroma during processing. It is widely used in beverages, confectionery, baking, dairy products, hookah, etc.
