CARAMEL TASTE
When sugar first starts to caramelize (at around 340 degrees), it will taste mild and buttery and still very sweet. As the temperature continues to climb with more cooking, even more sugar molecules break down and the caramel will begin to taste markedly more complex and less sweet. Caramel is often made with granulated sugar, caramel candies, which are often chewy and soft.
CARAMEL FLAVOR COMPOUNDS
Caramelization is a series of complex reactions that include hydrolysis, dehydration and polymerization of carbohydrates to form a colored constituent of brown pigment. Caramel has been widely used for coloring and flavoring of foods and beverages like beer, soft drinks, soups and candies. Caramel flavor compounds are temperature sensitive. The temperature sensitivity of the aromatic chemical reaction is dependent upon the activation energy. The longer the activation energy, the smaller the fraction of the aromatic activated molecules and the slower a reaction proceeds.

Please Note: Due to the fact that our flavors are very concentrated, we suggest that you test our flavors in finished products before you make any conclusions about our compounds. Since our flavors are so strong, we suggest only using 0.5 to max 2% in any finished product. Our testing notes will never take the place of your own personal testing. Always test flavors in finished (product) applications.
