The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Apricot brings a clean apricot profile: juicy flesh with a touch of jam, gentle fuzz/peel and a lively tart edge—great for lemonades/sodas, fruit/berry blends, yoghurt/creams and bakery. 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).
