Bergamot Food Flavor, 1 L

Scaling up bergamot flavor for continuous beverage and confectionery lines

A one-liter container is built for manufacturers who need consistent aroma performance across large production batches rather than a single test run. This volume belongs to the Food Flavorings category, where concentrates are formulated for industrial dosing, allowing a technologist to plan a formula directly for a production line rather than a small trial.

Bergamot is best known through Earl Grey tea, and the tea industry remains the largest global consumer of this citrus-floral note. Beyond tea blending, the flavor is widely used in carbonated and still beverages, liqueurs, syrups for confectionery fillings, ice cream, chewing gum and baked goods. In industrial volumes it is also common on caramel and hard candy lines, where the aroma needs to stay stable through repeated heating cycles, not just smell strong at the start.

When working with large batches, temperature control matters: most aromatic compositions lose part of their volatile components above 80-90 degrees, so it is best to add the flavor during the cooling stage of the mass or into the finished syrup right before filling. A common dosage for a liter container is roughly 1 to 5 grams per kilogram of base, though the exact concentration should be tested for each recipe, since perception of the aroma shifts with fat content, acidity and sugar levels.

The flavor blends well with other citrus and fruit notes, giving technologists room to build layered compositions. For testing new formulas before committing a full liter, it helps to work with smaller units such as Bergamot Food Flavor, 50 ml or Bergamot Food Flavor, 5 ml, which let a formulator dial in proportions without risking a large batch of raw material. Interesting flavor pairings also come from berry notes, particularly Food flavoring currant, 5 ml, opening the door to original beverage and dessert blends.

Store the concentrate in a tightly sealed container, away from direct light and at room temperature, keeping it apart from strongly scented substances since the flavor can absorb surrounding odors. Once opened, use the contents within a reasonable timeframe and avoid letting moisture enter the container to keep the concentration stable throughout storage.

Industrial syrup base for bergamot tea blends

Purified water 800 ml

White sugar 900 g

Citric acid 3 g

Bergamot Food Flavor 4 ml

Food grade preservative per manufacturer instructions

Heat the water to 70 degrees and gradually stir in the sugar until it fully dissolves and the syrup turns clear. Remove from heat and cool the mass to 35-40 degrees, then add the citric acid and preservative. Add the bergamot flavor last, once the syrup has cooled to room temperature, mix thoroughly and transfer into sealed containers for further dosing on a tea beverage or confectionery filling line.
