The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Bubblegum delivers a timeless gum profile: sweet pink “gum” core with a soft ester/banana note, gentle berry lift and a glossy candy finish—ideal for candy, soda and fruit 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).

Tips for this flavour
- Dosing start: 6–9% standalone; 1–4% as an accent. Overuse can read perfumey/artificial.
- Pink lemonade gum: add 0.25–0.75% Sweet & Tart + 0.25–0.5% Sour with a squeeze of lemon/lime.
- Pairings: strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, grape; tropicals like mango/pineapple for “bubblegum candy”.
- Body & smooth: 0.25–0.5% Marshmallow or Vanilla Swirl to polish edges.
- Slush/cooling: 0.2–0.6% Menthol Liquid for an iced vibe without mint flavour.
- Steeping: 0–3 days—candy profiles settle quickly; fine-tune sweet/tart after a short rest.
