red cherry flavor

Red cherry flavor is a flavor compound designed to replicate the fruity and sweet aroma typically associated with the red cherry fruit. This artificial flavoring agent appears as a liquid or concentrate and is used extensively to impart a vivid red cherry sensory impression in various food and beverage items. Known also by synonyms such as artificial red cherry flavor, red tart cherry flavor, and cherry flavor (red), it is widely applied across the flavor industry. Sourced primarily through synthetic aroma chemicals, the flavor combines esters and aldehydes to reproduce the characteristic cherry notes. For more detailed chemical information, its record can be accessed through repositories like PubChem. Red cherry flavor encompasses a fruity profile suited to diverse formulations requiring a cherry note.

While naturally, red cherry flavor components occur in the fruit of Prunus avium and related species, the commercial red cherry flavor is typically a formulated mixture optimized for stability and consistency. It applies broadly in flavored products of all types, including confectionery, beverages, desserts, and pharmaceuticals requiring flavor masking or enhancement. The flavor is particularly notable for replicating the maraschino cherry taste commonly found in processed food products. According to FEMA (US) guidelines, red cherry flavor is recognized as suitable for food flavoring purposes when used within recommended limits, supporting its wide acceptance in the food industry.

Red cherry flavor exhibits physico-chemical characteristics favoring solubility in aqueous and alcohol media, facilitating its incorporation into various product matrices. Its formulation typically includes volatile esters and aldehydes contributing to its strong fruity aroma and flavor perception. The flavor is stable under typical storage conditions but may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to heat or light, which can lead to aroma degradation. The absence of any classified hazards under OSHA (US) indicates a favorable safety profile for handling and processing, though usage levels should align with regulatory standards for flavored products. Its chemical profile allows blending with other fruit or sweet flavors to tailor complexity in formulations.
