Enhancing Products with Great Baked Potato Flavor
It might sound like a niche flavor ingredient, but there is an incredible range of uses for baked potato flavor in many different areas of the flavor industry. In fact, baked potato has long held firmly in the market due to the fact that it is a comforting, delicious flavor that a large number of people enjoy. Baked potato flavor, created with natural 2,3,5 Trimethyl Pyrazine, is most commonly found throughout the snack food industry, where it is an important base in the creation of many different types of potato chip flavors.
Baked potato is, not surprisingly, most commonly used paired with other flavor ingredients. That makes it an important ingredient for custom flavor creation teams, who must optimize the flavor of this ingredient with others such as onion flavor, meaty flavors, creamy flavors, and cheesy flavors. This “loaded baked potato” flavor is most commonly used on potato chips. The basic baked potato flavor can itself add depth to the flavor profile of a basic potato chip too, as well as many different popular flavors in the potato chip and snack food industry. In addition to potato chips, baked potato flavor can also commonly be found in products such as crackers.
Baked potato flavor is also commonly used in the production of packaged goods such as instant mashed potatoes, as it can help recreate the natural flavor that is sometimes lost in the freeze-drying process. Just as is the case with snack foods, this flavor is commonly used in combination with others such as a creamy, buttery, or onion flavor in order to create the exact flavor profile that the flavor creation team intends.
A classic comfort food, baked potato remains as popular now as ever. The right flavor ingredient can bring the classic flavor of baked potato into people’s homes in many different forms.
