What it is
Black truffle aroma is a flavoring agent designed to mimic the distinct, earthy, and musky scent of black truffles. It is typically created by combining various natural and/or artificial flavor compounds, as it is difficult to extract enough natural aroma from truffles for widespread commercial use.
Why it's used
This aroma is added to foods to impart a truffle-like flavor without the high cost of actual truffles. It is commonly found in products like pasta, sauces, oils, cheeses, and snacks where a rich, savory flavor is desired.
Health notes
Black truffle aroma is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances, and such compounds are typically considered safe at the low levels used in food. There is no widespread scientific controversy regarding the safety of these flavorings at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Black truffle aroma is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
