Coffee flavorings are food additives that mimic the unique aroma of roasted coffee beans. They are designed to provide a stable and consistent coffee flavor, encompassing a wide range of flavor profiles from the fruity and floral notes of light roasts to the rich, bitter, and smoky aromas of dark roasts, and are widely used in various food products.
Flavor Characteristics: Coffee flavorings possess a complex and rich aroma, combining roasted notes, caramel notes, a slight bitterness, and the natural flavors of coffee beans (such as regional characteristics, acidity, and body). The flavor is rich and long-lasting, providing an invigorating and pleasant sensation.
Aroma Profile: Primarily based on a three-layered profile of “roasted coffee bean aroma + caramel + creamy notes,” it can be further subdivided into the rich, fruity aroma of Arabica, the intense, smoky aroma of Robusta, and the bitter, dark roast aroma; the aftertaste often carries nutty and caramel sweetness.
Key Ingredients: Pyrazines (2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine, etc.), furfuryl mercaptan, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, diacetyl, vanillin, cocoa aldehyde, etc.; available in liquid (water-soluble/oil-soluble), powder, and microencapsulated forms; stable at high temperatures up to 180°C and pH 3-8.
