Variety of applications and characteristics
Flavor blends are classified according to their application and taste profile, which can range from savory to sweet.
The method of applying flavor blends varies depending on the product. For example, in snack production, blends can be applied in a coating drum, dissolved in oil for spraying, or incorporated directly into the dough before processing.
