The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Papaya delivers a ripe tropical profile: sweet, juicy fruit with a creamy mango/melon body and a gentle green/musky nuance for realism—great in smoothies, lemonades and fruit desserts. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol. Note: We purchase in bulk and re-bottle into smaller sizes (not the original packaging).
