At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we understand that the nuances of flavor are critical for product success. Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate (CAS 5405-41-4) is a compound with a distinct flavor profile that is highly valued by flavorists. Described as soft, fruity, and possessing a hint of pineapple, its appeal is subtle yet significant, particularly in the creation of authentic fruit flavors.

What makes Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate particularly effective is its synergistic interaction with other flavor compounds, especially other esters like ethyl butyrate. This combination allows for the development of complex and layered flavor profiles that are difficult to achieve with single ingredients. For instance, when crafting citrus flavors, the strategic use of Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate can elevate the profile from mundane to a juicy, refreshing experience. The recommended dosage rates often vary depending on the specific application, but generally, levels suggested for use in flavors intended for ready-to-drink beverages or simple bouillons are around 0.05% in the final product. Specific fruit flavors might require precise ppm levels, such as 100 ppm for grapefruit juice to create a 'juicy revelation,' or 200 ppm for orange juice to capture the character of freshly squeezed fruit.

The precise dosage of ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is crucial for achieving the desired sensory impact without overwhelming the overall flavor. This attention to detail is where the expertise of flavorists comes into play. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-quality Ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate, enabling flavor houses to achieve the precise taste profiles their clients demand. Whether aiming for the vibrant notes of citrus or the subtle sweetness of tropical fruits, understanding the flavor profile and effective usage of ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate is key to successful flavor creation.
