Food Grade High Concentration Spearmint Fragrance Flavor For
Chewing gum
Product Code: LDZ-PL100059
This "Food Grade High Concentration Spearmint Fragrance Flavor" is
a specialized, typically liquid, food additive designed to deliver
the classic spearmint taste profile in products like chewing gum.
It offers a characteristic refreshing, cool, and subtly sweet
spearmint taste. Unlike the sharp, sometimes "hot" flavor of
peppermint (which is dominated by menthol), spearmint flavor is
primarily defined by the compound carvone, giving it a milder,
sweeter, and more herbal mint note.
The spearmint flavor for chewing gum, while technically a food
flavor, is often described using perfumery "notes" to detail its
sensory progression, especially when formulated for a long chew.
Flavor Profile:
It can be formulated using natural spearmint oil (derived from the
Mentha spicata plant) and/or natural and artificial flavor
components blended to optimize the taste, stability, and longevity
required for a commercial chewing gum product.
| Top Notes (Initial Impact) | Intense Coolness: The immediate, sharp burst of minty freshness.
This initial lift is essential for the consumer's first impression. Sweet, Aromatic Leaf: A very clean, vibrant green note, resembling
freshly crushed spearmint leaves. This is the first wave of the
characteristic sweetness of spearmint. Volatile Carvone: The primary volatile compound responsible for the
core spearmint scent. The high concentration ensures this top note
is powerful and noticeable right away. |
| Middle Notes (Sustained Flavor) | Smooth Herbal Body: As the initial sharp coolness subsides, the
flavor transitions to a more rounded, smoother herbal character.
The sweetness is sustained but less sugary. Subtle Green: A persistent, clean "green" undertone, avoiding any
medicinal or harsh notes. This is where the long-lasting effect of
encapsulated or less volatile flavor components is most prominent. Balancing Sweetness: The flavor is kept palatable through a
controlled release of sweetness, often balanced with the primary
mint compound. |
| Base Notes (Lingering Finish): | Clean Freshness: The final, lasting impression is a clean,
fresh-breath sensation that lingers well after the gum has been
discarded. Faint Sweet Carvone: A gentle, non-irritating, residual hint of the
characteristic spearmint (carvone) flavor that prevents the chew
from becoming bland. Soft Cooling Effect: A subtle, cool sensation in the mouth and
throat, without the intense menthol "burn" often associated with
peppermint. |

Functional Properties:
This Food Grade High Concentration Spearmint Fragrance Flavor is
highly versatile and critical in the confectionery and oral care
industries.
This flavor is engineered to perform several critical roles beyond
simply providing taste:
| Flavor Impact and Longevity | Its high concentration is essential for delivering an intense,
immediate flavor burst upon chewing, followed by a sustained,
long-lasting taste. Flavor manufacturers use specialized forms
(like encapsulated or spray-dried oils) to control the release,
ensuring the spearmint taste remains enjoyable for the entire chew
time and does not dissipate too quickly. |
| Masking Agents | It functions as a powerful masking agent to hide the off-tastes,
bitterness, or chemical notes of other gum ingredients,
particularly artificial sweeteners (like aspartame, acesulfame K,
or sucralose) and the gum base itself. |
| Cooling Sensation | It provides a clean, refreshing, and cooling effect, which is
highly desired in breath-freshening products. Although milder than
peppermint, the spearmint's inherent coolness significantly
enhances the user's perception of "fresh breath." |
| Aroma and Appeal | The pleasant spearmint aroma released from the gum enhances the
overall sensory experience, making the product more appealing and
memorable to consumers. |
Applications & Benefits:
While its primary use is chewing gum, this high-concentration,
food-grade spearmint flavor is broadly applied across the food and
beverage sectors:
| Chewing Gum and Bubble Gum | The most prominent application, where it is used in sugar-free and
sugar-sweetened varieties for its classic, clean, and refreshing
taste. It is a staple flavor worldwide, suitable for slab, pellet,
and stick formats. |
| Confectionery | It is extensively used in hard candies, soft chews, mints,
lozenges, and compressed sugar tablets to deliver a cool,
herbal-sweet mint flavor. |
| Oral Care Products | Given its association with fresh breath, it is a popular ingredient
in toothpastes, mouthwashes, and dental rinses, where it improves
palatability and conveys a sensation of cleanliness. |
| Beverages and Supplements | Less concentrated versions may be used in certain herbal teas,
functional drinks, throat sprays, and dietary supplements to
provide a palatable, minty flavor. |
