roasted hazelnut infusions

Roasted hazelnut infusions are flavor and fragrance agents characterized by a pronounced nutty odor and flavor profile. These compounds are derived through the controlled extraction or infusion of roasted hazelnut materials, imparting distinctive sensory qualities reminiscent of fresh roasted hazelnuts. Commonly described as nutty in both aroma and taste, they add depth and authenticity to various food and fragrance formulations. Synonyms often include nutty hazelnut essence or roasted hazelnut extract. For additional chemical and safety data, reference controlled vocabulary sources like PubChem. These infusions are typically prepared from natural hazelnut sources through roasting and solvent extraction or infusion methods.

Roasted hazelnut infusions naturally occur as processed extracts from hazelnuts, which are seeds of the Corylus genus. Due to their pleasant nutty sensory characteristics, they are widely applied in food flavoring and fragrance products to replicate or enhance roasted nut notes. The IFRA Code of Practice (Global) provides guidelines for the safe use of such flavor and fragrance agents within formulations to ensure consumer safety and product compliance.

These infusions possess physicochemical characteristics influenced by their complex mixture of volatile and semi-volatile compounds obtained from roasting hazelnuts. Their nutty odor arises primarily from specific aroma-active molecules generated during roasting. The physical state may vary from liquid extracts to concentrated essences with solubility typically compatible with flavor and fragrance formulation solvents. Stability under normal storage conditions supports their adoption in a range of sensory products. The absence of known hazardous components simplifies their regulatory profile, easing incorporation into consumer goods.
