assam tea flavor

Assam tea flavor is a compound embodying the sensory characteristics of Assam tea, a variety renowned for its robust and malty aroma derived from the Camellia sinensis plant. This flavor essence is utilized to replicate the distinctive tea notes associated with this type of black tea. It appears as an aromatic substance applied primarily in the flavor industry to enhance food and beverage products. Synonyms and related terms include Assam tea essence and black tea flavor. This material is connected to the controlled-vocabulary database PubChem, where detailed chemical profiles of tea flavor constituents can be found. Sourced from natural tea leaves or produced by flavor extraction processes, Assam tea flavor represents the authentic taste profile of Assam-grown tea leaves.

Assam tea flavor arises naturally in the leaves of the Assam tea plant, native to the Assam region of India. It contributes the characteristic malty and brisk flavor notes prized in black tea varieties. This flavor is commonly employed in the formulation of flavored products of all types, including beverages, confectionery, bakery items, and other consumables requiring tea flavor enhancement. The FEMA (US) standard guides the use of such flavoring substances in food and beverages, ensuring compliance with safety and usage criteria. Assam tea flavor can be applied to imitate authentic tea aroma profiles or to develop novel flavor combinations.

Assam tea flavor exhibits physicochemical properties typical of complex natural flavor mixtures derived from tea leaves. Its composition includes volatile aromatic compounds that are soluble in lipid and aqueous matrices, influencing its blending behavior in formulations. The flavor’s stability under standard food processing conditions and its volatility impact the intensity and persistence of tea notes in final products. Its compatibility with other flavor ingredients and solvents facilitates versatile application in flavored goods. While detailed toxicity data remain undetermined, the flavor is generally recognized for safe use within recommended levels in food products.
