Black sesame powder is a natural ingredient, while black sesame flavor is a food additive that mimics the aroma of black sesame. Black sesame flavor has a rich, mellow roasted sesame aroma, designed to provide a stable and standardized flavor, especially suitable for applications where using natural black sesame powder is difficult.
Flavor Characteristics: Black sesame flavor highly replicates the rich, warm aroma of roasted black sesame, usually accompanied by nutty, woody notes and a slight caramel aftertaste. This aroma is long-lasting and natural, unlike the flavor fluctuations that may occur with natural black sesame powder due to changes in storage or processing conditions.
Aroma Profile: Roasted nut-oil aroma, with a triple layer of “roasted aroma + milky aroma + sweetness,” smooth on the palate with a long-lasting aftertaste.
Key Components: Pyrazines (2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine, etc.) provide the roasted aroma; 5-methylfurfural and maltol contribute sweetness; lactones provide a creamy texture.
