kiwi berry flavor

Kiwi berry flavor is a synthetic or nature-identical flavor compound characterized by a fruity aroma closely resembling the fresh, tangy scent of kiwi berries. This flavor additive is also known under the synonym berry kiwi flavor. Chemically, it belongs to the broader category of fruit flavor compounds commonly used in food and beverage formulations to mimic or enhance natural fruit notes. Detailed chemical identifiers are not provided for this compound, but it aligns with compounds described in the PubChem database under fruity flavor substances. Kiwi berry flavor typically derives from controlled synthesis processes or extraction, ensuring consistency and purity in formulation. Its sensory profile is highly valued for imparting a natural fruity character characteristic of the small, sweet kiwi berry fruit.

Kiwi berry flavor does not occur naturally in significant concentrations outside its fruit source but is applied widely in flavored products of all types to impart a fruity kiwi note. Its applicability covers beverages, confectionery, baked goods, dairy products, and other food items requiring a fresh, fruity flavor profile. Usage recommendations specify it is not intended for fragrance applications but rather for taste modification in edible goods. Compliance with flavor safety standards such as those set by FEMA (US) guides formulation practices, although specific regulatory listings for this compound are not indicated. The flavor's versatile usage potential hinges on its natural fruity character and compatibility with various product matrices.

Kiwi berry flavor is composed of volatile aromatic compounds that contribute to its characteristic fruity scent. Its physical properties include high volatility at room temperature, enabling rapid aroma release, and good solubility in common flavor solvents and food matrices such as water, ethanol, and oils. These chemical properties assist in effective formulation, allowing pronounced flavor impact even at low concentrations. Stability under typical food processing conditions supports its inclusion in a range of products. No detailed thermodynamic or spectral data are specified, but the compound's lack of recognized hazards suggests manageable handling requirements. The flavor’s balance of volatility and stability influences its sensory persistence and mouthfeel in finished goods.
