Ingredients firm Treatt has unveiled its latest innovation – a spearmint flavour which it claims offers ‘leafy green flavours and imparts distinct Mojito-like topnotes’.
Spearmint Treattarome 9764, says the manufacturer, provides flavourists and manufacturers with a sweeter alternative to conventional spearmint oil.
Wholly distilled from Mentha spicata, the ingredients is a 100% natural FTNF (From The Named Food) clear distillate.
“It delivers the aroma impact of freshly crushed native spearmint leaves, reminiscent of the classic Mojito drink, while also conferring a refreshing candy-like spearmint flavour,” says a Treatt spokesman. “Entirely water soluble, this water-white high impact distillate is particularly suitable for clear beverage applications plus juices, dairy drinks and alcoholic beverages.”
It can also be used at varying dosage levels to achieve different flavour profiles.
