orange cranberry flavor

Orange cranberry flavor is a flavoring compound characterized by its citrus sensory profile combining the sweetness of orange with the tartness typical of cranberry. It belongs to the category of flavoring agents widely used in food and beverage formulation. Known also by synonyms such as cranberry blood orange flavor and blood orange cranberry flavor, this compound imparts a distinctive, fresh, and fruity note. Structurally, it is an organoleptic mixture rather than a single molecular entity. Sourcing often involves natural extracts or synthetic blends designed to replicate the natural fruit aromas. Relevant chemical and sensory data are documented in authoritative chemical databases such as PubChem. Its aroma and taste profile make it suitable for enhancing a variety of flavored products across multiple food categories.

This flavor typically represents a blend mimicking the natural combination of blood orange and cranberry fruits, both of which occur biologically as citrus and berry species respectively. The compound is widely applied in flavoring various consumable products including beverages, confections, and snacks. Its use is limited to flavoring applications and is not recommended for fragrance or cosmetic purposes according to safety evaluations. Compliance with standards such as FEMA (US) ensures that usage levels maintain consumer safety while delivering desired sensory effects. Manufacturers leverage this flavor to create complex citrus-berry notes that enhance product appeal.

Orange cranberry flavor is formulated to provide a balanced citrus and tart fruit note, reflecting characteristics of its natural fruit sources. The mixture exhibits volatility typical of citrus-derived aroma compounds, which affects its persistence and perception in formulations. Its chemical stability and solubility properties support incorporation into water- and oil-based product matrices. The flavor lacks hazardous classifications in regulatory frameworks, indicating low inherent toxicity under recommended use conditions. Physical properties such as odor threshold and volatility influence flavor release dynamics, critical for flavor formulation and sensory performance in end products.
