Ethyl Maltol’s Versatile Applications in Food, Beverage, Oral Care, and Fragrance Industries
Enhances sweetness perception and imparts caramelized and cotton candy notes in chocolates, chewing gums, and sugar-based confectionery.
Provides long-lasting sweet aroma in baked goods, masking flour bitterness and improving mouthfeel after heat treatment.
Improves flavor profile and smoothness in juices, dairy drinks, soft beverages, and alcohol-based formulations by reducing harshness.
Enhances creamy notes and sweetness in yogurts, flavored milks, and ice creams, while masking unwanted metallic or sour off-notes.
Contributes warm, sweet base notes in perfumes, personal care items, and creams; often used as a fixative in scent formulations.
Masks bitterness from actives like fluoride or zinc in toothpaste, mouthwash, and chewable tablets, while enhancing mint or fruit aromas.
Ethyl Maltol is a key flavor enhancer in confectionery, known for its sweet, caramel-like and cotton candy aroma. Used at low levels (5–50 ppm), it boosts sweetness, smooths bitterness, and improves flavor depth. It performs well in heat-processed products like hard candies, chewing gum, and chocolate coatings, helping maintain a consistent taste profile throughout shelf life.
TUODA’s high-purity Ethyl Maltol is suitable for a wide range of sugar-based confections and complies with global food safety standards.
A marshmallow producer added TUODA’s Ethyl Maltol (12 ppm) to enhance sweetness and aroma. Results: 21% better consumer preference, reduced off-notes, and longer-lasting flavor with no change to texture or processing.
Ethyl Maltol enhances aroma and taste in baked goods by introducing warm, sweet notes and smoothing harsh or bitter aftertastes from flour or additives. It maintains flavor intensity during baking, making it ideal for cakes, muffins, cookies, and bakery fillings.
TUODA’s food-grade Ethyl Maltol is widely used by industrial bakeries for consistent flavor performance and clean-label compliance.
A commercial bakery added TUODA’s Ethyl Maltol at 18 ppm to a vanilla muffin recipe. This resulted in improved aroma retention, a 26% increase in consumer preference scores, and reduced need for other sweeteners.
Ethyl Maltol is used in beverage formulations to enhance sweetness, reduce astringency, and round off flavor profiles. It complements both natural and artificial flavors, especially in fruit juices, dairy drinks, and soft beverages.
TUODA’s high-purity grade is suitable for still and carbonated drinks, syrups, concentrates, and ready-to-drink applications.
A dairy producer used TUODA’s Ethyl Maltol in a chocolate milk line to enhance sweetness and creaminess. The result: reduced sugar content by 15% while maintaining taste appeal, with improved flavor stability over 30-day shelf life.
Ethyl Maltol enhances the creamy, sweet notes of dairy products while masking unwanted flavors from processing or acidifiers. It improves overall mouthfeel and flavor smoothness in yogurts, ice creams, flavored milks, and dairy desserts.
TUODA supplies food-grade Ethyl Maltol with excellent solubility and flavor retention in complex dairy matrices.
A yogurt manufacturer introduced TUODA’s Ethyl Maltol at 10 ppm in a berry-flavored line. Outcome: improved flavor harmony, 19% better consumer ratings, and lower flavoring cost due to reduced fruit concentrate usage.
Ethyl Maltol is valued in the fragrance and cosmetics industry for its sweet, gourmand aroma that brings warmth and depth to scent profiles. It is often used as a base note enhancer or fixative in perfumes, creams, and personal care products.
TUODA offers high-purity Ethyl Maltol tailored for perfumery and personal care use, with consistent sensory performance and low impurity profile.
A fragrance brand used TUODA’s Ethyl Maltol in a vanilla-citrus EDT. It extended the base note retention by 33% and added a soft, edible quality that improved blind test preference by 28%.
Ethyl Maltol is used in oral care products to improve taste, reduce bitterness, and enhance aroma. It smooths the flavor profile of formulations containing fluoride, zinc, or herbal actives.
TUODA provides oral-care grade Ethyl Maltol with reliable quality, supported by full documentation for formulation, safety, and compliance.
