Kiwi (also known as kiwifruit) flavor is a food additive designed to mimic the refreshing, sweet and sour taste and unique herbaceous aroma of natural kiwifruit.
Kiwi flavor belongs to the “green-acidic-berry-sweet” complex fruit flavor type. The core aroma compounds include cis-3-hexenol, ethyl acetate, benzaldehyde, γ-decalactone, ethyl acetate, and ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, which together simulate the unique “green-acidic-juicy-slightly sweet” characteristics of kiwifruit.
