Food Flavor Citro Ukraine 1 L

A crisp citrus profile built for beverage and confectionery production lines

Food Flavor Citro in a 1 liter container is aimed at manufacturers running small-batch or workshop-scale production who need a dependable citrus concentrate on a recurring basis. The composition delivers a bright, lemonade-style citrus character most commonly linked to soft drinks, though its real-world use extends well beyond that single category. This item belongs to the Food Flavors Ukraine Wholesale section, which brings together concentrates for beverage plants, confectionery workshops, bakeries and other food processing businesses.

Globally, citrus flavors see the strongest demand in the soft drink sector: lemonades, postmix syrups, carbonated beverages, and cold-brewed fruit drinks all rely heavily on stable, cost-effective citrus concentrates that require minimal formulation adjustment. Beyond beverages, Citro is widely used in confectionery production for creams, fondants, marmalade, hard candy and caramel, as well as in ice cream, jelly and mousse manufacturing where a sharp, refreshing sour-citrus note is needed without relying on natural juice. In baking, it appears in citrus-filled pastries and sweet dough products.

Dosage depends on the finished product and is typically determined by the technologist through trial batches, but a general guideline is 0.3 to 1.5 ml per kilogram of mass for confectionery items and 0.1 to 0.5 ml per liter for beverages and syrups. It is best to start with the lower end of the range and increase gradually, since overdosing can introduce a harsh synthetic aftertaste. The flavor should be added at the final stage of processing, once the mass has cooled to around 40-60 degrees Celsius, which helps preserve volatile aromatic compounds and results in a more lasting flavor in the finished product. For cold drinks and syrups, it is added right before bottling at room temperature.

Citro blends well with other fruit and berry notes, giving formulators room to build layered flavor profiles. Pairing it with Food Flavor Berry produces an appealing sweet-tart combination suitable for fruit drinks and dessert sauces, while combining it with Food Flavor Grapes allows for multi-layered lemonade profiles with more complexity. For contrast in dairy-based desserts and pastries, technologists sometimes pair the citrus note with a creamier composition such as Food Flavoring Baked Milk, creating an unusual tart-creamy pairing.

Store the flavor in a tightly sealed container, in a dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources, at room temperature, and separate from strongly scented substances, since the concentrate can absorb surrounding odors over time. Once opened, it is best used within the shelf life stated by the manufacturer, with the cap closed firmly after each use. The 1 liter format suits workshops that have moved past test batches into steady production runs, as well as small beverage bottling lines and confectionery studios that need a reliable mid-size supply.
