About
Water-Dispersible Lavender Food Fragrance is lavender essential oil from fresh Lavandula angustifolia flowering tops grown in Türkiye, emulsified in a lecithin and water base. The milky-white to pale-yellow oil-in-water emulsion goes straight into syrups, soft drinks and dairy drinks with no pre-solubilisation step.
Functional Properties
The odour is fresh, floral and herbaceous. Linalool at 20.0–43.0 % and linalyl acetate at 25.0–47.0 % make up the bulk of the essential-oil fraction, giving a rounded floral top over a soft herbaceous body; terpinen-4-ol (max. 8.0 %) adds a green nuance, and camphor is limited to max. 1.5 %.
Quality
By GC-FID area normalisation the specified constituents of the essential-oil fraction total at least 95 %. Heavy metals are not detected and the microbiological panel complies. Disperses in water and mixes with ethanol; shelf life 12 months unopened at 2–8 °C — shake well before use.
Applications
- Beverages: soft drinks, lemonades, dairy drinks
- Syrups and desserts: syrups, milk puddings, dairy desserts
- Confectionery fillings: water-based fillings and creams
- Dosing: dose to effect in the finished product — lavender is potent and easily overdosed in sweet work
For oil-based applications the same lavender oil is supplied in an MCT carrier: Lavender Food Fragrance (in MCT oil).
