Ethyl Maltol 10% (PG) by Flavour Mill is a widely used flavour enhancer that provides a gentle sweetness with subtle notes reminiscent of candy floss, caramelised sugar and cooked fruit. Rather than acting as a standalone flavour, it works by blending and smoothing existing flavours, creating a more rounded and cohesive taste profile.
Its versatility makes it an excellent addition to confectionery, bakery products, desserts, beverages and fruit-based recipes where a softer, sweeter finish is desired. Ethyl Maltol can help reduce sharp or acidic notes while adding body and depth, making it a valuable ingredient for both home bakers and professional food manufacturers looking to refine their recipes.
