Product Concept:
Malt flavoring typically refers to ethyl maltol, a food additive used to enhance and improve the aroma of food. It has multiple uses, including sweetening, flavoring, masking off-flavors, and preservation, and is widely used in various products such as confectionery, beverages, meat products, and baked goods. Its usage is extremely small, depending on the product type, typically ranging from a few parts per ten thousand to a few parts per million, to avoid producing a caramelized flavor.
