The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Apple provides a versatile apple profile: juicy flesh, balanced sweetness/tartness and a fresh peel accent—great for lemonades/sodas, pies and berry blends. 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 bottles (not the original packaging).
