What it is
Caramel flavor base is a concentrated flavoring ingredient that mimics the taste and aroma of caramel. It is typically made by heating sugars, often with water and other ingredients like butter, cream, or milk solids, to create a rich, sweet, and slightly burnt flavor profile. This process can also produce a brown color.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use caramel flavor base to impart a distinct caramel taste and aroma to a wide variety of foods and beverages. It is commonly found in dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, as well as baked goods, candies, and beverages. Its primary function is to enhance or create a caramel flavor.
Health notes
Caramel flavor base is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated caramel colors, which are often related to caramel flavor bases, and have established acceptable daily intakes. Evidence on the health effects of typical consumption of caramel flavor bases is limited, but they are not generally associated with adverse effects at normal intake levels.
Allergen info
Caramel flavor base itself is not a major allergen. However, if made with dairy ingredients like milk or butter, it may contain allergens such as milk. Check product labels for specific allergen information.
