Cactus Flavor is available in different variants, which differ in intensity, character of flavor notes and form (liquid or powder), which allows them to be tailored to specific applications – both in the food and cosmetic industries. Below is a detailed description of the variants:
1. liquid cactus aroma (glycol)
This is the most versatile variant with a fresh, green and slightly fruity profile. There are notes similar to prickly pear juice and aloe vera, with subtle touches of melon and cucumber. The delicate sweetness here is combined with refreshing acidity. This variant is perfect for dairy products (yogurts, cheeses), confectionery (fillings, creams), as well as isotonic drinks, lemonades or sweet sodas. The carrier is propylene glycol, so the flavor integrates well with water and fat bases.
2. cactus aroma concentrated (liquid, glycol)
A version with enhanced intensity and a deeper flavor and aroma profile. It retains the juicy, green-fruit notes, but the exotic accents are more noticeable – reminiscent of a blend of kiwi, pear and white grapes with a cool, vegetal note. Ideal for products that are meant to delight with a distinct fresh aroma – such as chewing gums, lozenges, sweets with a cooling effect or fresh cosmetics (gels, shampoos). Thanks to the concentrated formula, a smaller dose is needed, which is advantageous for intensifying flavor or fragrance without affecting the consistency of the product.
3. cactus flavor powder
A variant created for dry food blends and dietary supplements. It is characterized by a delicate, sweet and vegetal aroma with notes of green apple, aloe vera and a slight citrus freshness. It works well in effervescent tablets, shake mixes, functional bars or instant products (jellies, kisiels, shakes). Its powder form allows for convenient dosing and long flavor shelf life even in harsh storage conditions.
Each of the cactus aroma variants captures the characteristic freshness, lightness and exotic sweetness of the cactus fruit, but the selection of a particular version depends on the type of application, expected intensity and formulation base. These aromas are in line with modern consumer trends – especially popular among younger target groups and in “refreshing”, “detox” and “tropical” type products.
