apricot mango flavor

Apricot mango flavor is a synthetic flavor additive presenting a fruity sensory profile dominated by clear apricot and mango notes. This flavor is typically incorporated into flavored products to impart a tropical and sweet fruit impression. Known by the trivial name 'apricot mango flavor,' it belongs to a class of flavoring substances used commonly in food and beverage formulation. It does not have specific allergen concerns or hazard classifications and is characterized by a pleasant and well-recognized fruit aroma. The material's presence in flavor blends can enhance fruitiness and complexity. PubChem provides technical details under its flavoring category. It is primarily prepared by blending various flavor chemicals to simulate natural apricot and mango aromas for use in consumer goods.

Apricot mango flavor is not naturally occurring but is formulated to mimic the aromatic and taste qualities of apricot and mango fruits. It finds application across flavored products of all types, including beverages, confectionery, dairy, and other consumables. Regulatory frameworks such as FEMA (US) oversee its use levels to ensure consumer safety, setting specific limits for flavoring applications. Its use is confined to flavor enhancement in food and drink, with explicit exclusion from fragrance uses. The flavoring brings a characteristic tropical fruit character and sweetness, often employed to create appealing profiles in various product formulations.

This flavor is a complex mixture of volatile compounds specifically combined to reproduce the distinctive fruity notes of apricot and mango. The physicochemical characteristics depend on the constituent aroma chemicals, typically including esters, lactones, and terpenes known for low molecular weight and volatility essential for sensory perception. The mixture is generally liquid at room temperature and soluble in common food-grade solvents, aiding formulation. Its stability under typical processing conditions allows for versatile use, while the absence of hazardous components ensures suitability for direct food applications within regulated limits.
