FAQ

Q1: Does your banana flavor taste artificial or candy-like?

A: We offer different profiles. Our standard banana flavor has the characteristic, well-loved profile common in many applications. We also have a more natural, ripe banana WONF (With Other Natural Flavors) version that mimics fresh fruit more closely.

Q2: Is it suitable for use in high-acid products like yogurt?

A: Yes, our banana flavor is formulated to be stable in acidic environments like fruit yogurt and fermented dairy drinks, maintaining its flavor profile throughout shelf life.

Q3: Can it be used in powdered drink mixes?

A: For dry mixes, we recommend our spray-dried banana flavor powder, which offers superior stability, flowability, and prevents clumping. We can provide this upon request.

Q4: What is the shelf life of the liquid flavor?

A: When stored properly in unopened original packaging, the shelf life is 12 months. After opening, we recommend using it within 6 months and keeping the container tightly sealed.

Q5: Do you offer allergen-free and vegan versions?

A: Our standard banana flavors are typically free from major allergens (dairy, nuts, gluten, soy) and are suitable for vegan formulations. Full specification sheets confirm this.

Q6: Can you create a banana flavor that is less sweet/more green?

A: Yes, our R&D team can customize the flavor profile, adjusting the sweetness level, ripeness note, or adding a slight green/unripe character to match your specific product concept.
