Utilizing alcohol in applications is not always possible & cost effective. The solution to this problem is to use Novotaste’s range of customizable non-alcoholic wine, spirit & liquor flavours. Enhance your products with the flavour profiles of 100 year old cognac, 50 year old rum, an exclusive late bottled vintage porto or a rare wine.
Ethanol (food-grade alcohol) gives character to alcoholic beverages & is generally one of the main reasons why they are consumed. The flavour of champagne, rum, porto & most alcoholic beverages (not cocktails) is actually perceived to be quite different when there is not alcohol or if certain attributes such as gas (or CO2) levels are modified. When CO2 is removed from champagne, it can be perceived as being more acidic, bland with some yeast character & having some mild apple top-notes. In many applications, alcohol will mainly volatilize (bakery) leaving trace amounts of the remaining aromatics having lower volatility. In other applications such as with filled chocolates, alcohol is required to be tasted & will generally not volatilize. However, alcohol is not compatible with chocolate, so utilizing flavour systems instead of spirits & liquors will guarantee better taste profiles & product stability.
