HOFFMANN Food Flavouring Factory

We specialize in the production of food flavours, commonly referred to as “sweet” or “dessert” flavours. Our main focus is on fruit, nut, vanilla, cream, chocolate, caramel, rum, citrus, mint and similar flavour profiles. They can be used in all food products where flavouring is not prohibited by specific regulations. Our customers use our flavours not only in the food industry but also in other applications. Detailed information regarding the use of powder and liquid flavours can be obtained from our sales department or laboratory. We invite you to contact us and place orders for our flavours!

 

What are food flavours?

Food flavours are concentrated mixtures of flavouring substances which, when added to a product, enhance its sensory appeal. Due to consumer preferences, they are most often designed to closely resemble the aromas naturally occurring in unprocessed foods (fruit, vegetables, milk, etc.) or ready-made dishes (pizza, cheese, biscuits, cured meats, etc.).

Combined with taste (sweet, bitter, sour, salty and umami), texture and colour, flavours increase the attractiveness of food products for consumers.

 

Natural Food Flavours

A separate group consists of natural flavours, which are extracts obtained from natural raw materials such as fruits, nuts, herbs, spices and other plant-based substances. In recent years, their importance has been steadily increasing, mainly due to growing consumer awareness and rising interest in products with simple, natural ingredients.

The so-called “clean label” trend, involving the reduction of artificial additives and the use of naturally derived ingredients, means that food manufacturers are increasingly looking for natural flavours that meet market expectations and current consumer trends.

At the same time, natural flavours involve certain technological limitations. Compared to nature-identical or synthetic flavours, they often have lower intensity, reduced stability and greater sensitivity to changes occurring during food production processes and storage. For this reason, their use requires an appropriate formulation approach and technological expertise to achieve the desired flavour profile while maintaining the high quality of the finished product.

Due to their natural origin, natural flavours are usually more expensive than standard flavours. However, their use makes it possible to meet the expectations of consumers seeking products with a natural composition.

 

Types of Flavours

Depending on their technological form, flavours can be divided into liquid and powder flavours.

Liquid flavours are divided into three groups according to their different carriers: oil, rectified spirit and glycol.

In powder flavours, flavouring components are encapsulated during the microencapsulation process within a coating made of maltodextrin and gum arabic.
