Flavour character and applications
Evaluate Furaneol in strawberry and sweet-fruit compositions, caramel accords and confectionery flavour directions. Its combination of fruity and cooked-sugar character can help connect fruit notes with a sweeter background. The sensory result depends on use level and the complete formulation.
A note from flavour chemistry
Researchers identified a strawberry enzyme involved in the formation of Furaneol as the fruit ripens. This helps explain why a molecule with caramel-like sweetness is also closely associated with ripe strawberry aroma.
