Powdered Water-Soluble Food Flavours

The powdered water-soluble food flavours available on the website, such as Peach (Water Soluble Powder), Mixed Fruit (Water Soluble Powder), Dried Plum Flavor (Water Soluble Powder), and Passion Fruit Flavor (Water Soluble Powder), are flavour powders designed to dissolve in water for food applications.

Based on the product descriptions, these are standard water-soluble flavour powders. The descriptions do not specifically indicate that they use encapsulation technology.

Comparison with Encapsulated Flavours

Encapsulated flavours involve coating flavour compounds with a protective material. This technology offers several potential advantages compared to standard non-encapsulated powders:

• Stability: Encapsulation helps protect the flavour compounds from degradation caused by light, air, moisture, or interactions with other ingredients, leading to a longer shelf life.
• Flavour Release: Encapsulation can control when and how the flavour is released. For example, flavour might be released only when dissolved in water, heated, or chewed, potentially providing a more intense or sustained flavour experience.
• Reduced Volatility: Encapsulation can minimize the loss of volatile aroma compounds during storage or processing.

Standard water-soluble flavour powders, while effective for delivering flavour upon dissolution, may not offer the same level of protection or controlled release as encapsulated versions. The flavour release tends to be more immediate upon contact with water.

It's also important to note, as mentioned in the product descriptions for these specific flavours, that they provide flavouring only and do not contain sweetness components. You would need to add a separate sweetener if sweetness is desired in your formulation.
