Taste Description:black currant
This material is responsible for the "catty" fruity sensory properties & sulphurous note found in blackcurrant buds. Traditionally, buchu oil and Thiomenthone have been used to achieve this type of note in the formulation of blackcurrant flavours. Used in other fruit flavours, such as tropical fruit and peach |
