As you would expect, Flavour is an extremely important component of food quality and plays a major role in shaping choice, which makes the selection of your suppliers especially important.

It is said that the creation and developing of flavours has always been something of an art and House of Flavours, with our unique understanding of the marketplace together with our systematic and structured approach to flavour creation, provides the very best service whether your requires are for natural, nature identical, suitable for Organic or indeed artificial flavourings.

So, what exactly are they, and why are they used? Food flavourings are used to give flavour to foodstuffs that have no inherent flavour of their own, like flavoured water or sugar and gum based confectionary for example. Theyre used to boost or enhance the naturally occurring flavour of a foodstuff when that flavour is weak or delicate, or when the natural flavour of a food is lost or changed during processing.

Theyre used to mask unwelcome off flavours coming from ingredients in a foodstuff, or formed during processing. Food flavourings take many physical forms, each one offering their own advantages in specific applications. Water soluble liquid flavours, Oil soluble liquid flavours, Emulsions, spray dried powder flavours, fat encapsulated powder flavours, dry blends, liquids plated onto powders. They can also be formulated to conform to differing legislative requirements: Natural extracts/ 100% FTNF, 90%+ FTNF, Natural, Nature Identical, and Artificial. Typically flavours consist of natural extracts and essential oils and natural or nature identical aroma chemicals on a solvent or carrier system.

Dosages for flavourings vary dependant on type of flavouring and its application, but typically fall in the range 0.05 to 0.50% Flavourings are cost effective, micro-biologically safe, and easy to handle and offer many advantages over more conventional ingredients.

If youre unsure how flavourings can benefit your business, or would like some advice on the most appropriate flavouring for your application, contact HoF, for all your flavouring needs. Food Flavourings Where it is viable it is always of course best to use “natural” ingredients to flavour food, however it is not always possible to use these natural food flavourings, either because of the cost implications, for practical reasons or because such ingredients would just not last long enough. Hence the need for nature identical and artificial flavourings in the market places.

Natural or NI Flavours for Cheeses etc At the House of Flavours we can produce flavours for just about any food that you need flavouring in the most cost effective and healthy way, our Research and Development section being able to create the flavouring you require. Then once we have found that “flavour” our production teams will produce it in the quantities you need at the price that will enable you to take your product to the market.

Artificial Flavours and Side Effects The use of food additives today is another area that is the subject of much debate, some saying that they are alright, others doubting this. However the use of artificial flavourings in cosmetics, preservatives and processing aids (there are over 4,000 different additives, of which over 3,000 are used purely as cosmetics, with much lower numbers used as preservatives and processing aids) tells the story that this market place is a huge one.

So what are the side effects if any? Research has showed that some flavouring may have an effect on some children, but the case is far from proven. However, we at the House of Flavours always ensure that we keep abreast of the latest research and news, which in turn relieves our customers of this responsibility.

The benefits of eating fruit

Close your eyes and imagine standing in the middle of a peach orchard on a hot August day. Can you smell the tree-ripened fruit? Don’t you want to pick one and savor its sweet, juicy, fragrant goodness? The pleasures of sweetness, flavor, fragrance, and texture are reasons enough to eat fruit. But besides those inviting wonders, fruits offer us many compounds of great benefit to our health.

We all know they provide vitamins and minerals, but there are many other compounds in fruit, some of which we cannot name, that give health benefits to those who consume them. We call those compounds, collectively, phytonutrients-that is, nutrients from plants (“phyto”=plant).

Many of these phytonutrients have antioxidant activity, and others may yield their benefits by different mechanisms, such as inhibiting an enzyme. In many cases, we don’t know how they work.

Cherries, for example, are known to reduce uric acid levels in blood and to increase the urinary excretion of uric acid. Uric acid is what causes gout, and eating cherries, drinking cherry juice, or taking capsules of cherry extract can relieve the pain of gout. What in cherries reduces uric acid? And how does it do it? We don’t yet have the answers to those questions, but while we’re waiting for the answers, we can use cherries to give us relief from gout.

The fruits best known for their high antioxidant activity are berries:

* Raspberries

* Blueberries

* Strawberries

* Blackberries

* Cranberries

* Goji berries (also known as wolfberries)

But many other fruits provide high amounts of the familiar antioxidant, Vitamin C:

* Cantaloupe

* Kiwi

* Kumquat

* Citrus fruits (e.g., orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, clementine, tangerine)

Fruits, even acidic ones, have an alkalizing effect on the body: that is, they make the body less acid. Evidence is accumulating that certain disease conditions, such as osteoporosis, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis are aggravated by excess acid in the body. Eating alkalizing fruits can reduce overall acidity.

Alkalizing fruits include (but are not limited to):

* Figs

* Dates

* Black currants

* Bananas

* Apricots

* Cherries

* Grapes

* Grapefruit

* Mangos

* Pears

* Pineapple

* Lemons

* Peaches

* Apples

Many people have been advised by their doctors to eat bananas to provide potassium to make up for losses caused by potassium-depleting medications. While bananas are a good source of potassium, so are many other fruits (and vegetables). There is no need for boredom when attaining your daily 3500 milligrams of potassium. Other high-potassium fruits include avocado, grapefruit, orange, watermelon, and raisins. If you eat 3 to 5 servings of vegetables and 2 to 3 servings of fruit per day, you should have no trouble achieving adequate potassium intake.

Eating whole fruits has many advantages over drinking their juices. While nutritionists encourage eating 2 to 3 servings of fruit per day, they do not suggest 5 or 6, mainly because that could lead to excessive sugar consumption, a risk factor for diabetes and obesity. Drinking fruit juice is likely to increase the number of fruit servings consumed, since it takes, for example, three or four medium oranges to make an 8-ounce glass of juice. Juice also is devoid of fiber if the pulp is removed, whereas whole fruits can be a good source of fiber-a nutritional factor not only helpful for preventing or treating constipation but also for eliminating many unwanted compounds from the body.

So, enjoy your two or three servings of fruit daily without guilt. Delight in their deliciousness and appreciate their contributions to your health.
