General comment | Nutty nut skin hazelnut roasted earthy almond peanut |
Although not found to date in roasted nuts, it is key to the development of many such flavours (roasted peanut, hazelnut, filbert, almond). It can be used in cocoa and chocolate flavours as a replacement for many other pyrazines. For example, the addition of a very small quantity of this material to a chocolate flavour which contains no pyrazines, can convert it from a poor chocolate imitation into a good chocolate flavour. Also useful in bread flavours and for bakery flavours. Normal use levels in finished consumer product: 0.01-4 ppm. | Nutty |
