strawberry essence

Strawberry essence is a flavor and fragrance ingredient known for its fruity and green aroma closely resembling fresh strawberries. It can be classified as a natural or recreated essence derived from the fruit of Fragaria virginiana, a species related to common strawberries. This essence typically presents as a concentrated liquid capturing the characteristic fruity berry and floral notes with green and creamy undertones. Known synonyms include 'strawberry (British) kiinote (Omega)' and 'strawberry essence 150 fold', denoting specific formulations and concentration. For detailed chemical information, resources like PubChem provide comprehensive data. This ingredient is usually sourced through extraction or recovery from fresh fruit purees, producing complex aroma and flavor profiles distinct from juice-based extracts.

This compound originates from Fragaria virginiana, a wild strawberry species whose aromatic components contribute significantly to its sensory profile. Strawberry essence finds application primarily as a flavor and fragrance agent in food, beverage, and cosmetic products. It enhances strawberry notes with added creamy, green-fresh fruit characteristics, making it valuable for recreating natural strawberry aromas in formulations. The essence is utilized extensively in confectionery, soft drinks, and personal care items. Its use is regulated and classified under IFRA (Global) standards to ensure safe incorporation within perfumery and flavor formulations, addressing allergen and sensitization concerns.

Strawberry essence comprises volatile organic compounds responsible for its characteristic fruity and floral aroma. It manifests as a liquid concentrate with solubility in typical flavoring solvents, facilitating its incorporation into diverse product bases. The creamy and green-fresh notes arise from complex mixtures of esters, aldehydes, and lactones that are moderately stable under standard storage conditions. Due to the variability in natural raw materials and extraction methods, the sensory intensity and constituent profile can differ, influencing formulation outcomes. This essence’s physicochemical attributes, including volatility and polarity, govern its behavior during product manufacturing and shelf life.
