General Questions About Flavoring

What are flavor concentrates?

Flavor concentrates are highly concentrated liquid flavorings used to enhance the taste of food, beverages, and other products. They are versatile and can be used in baking, candy making, and beverages. Unlike extracts, they usually do not contain alcohol and often require dilution before use.

What are flavor extracts?

Flavor extracts are concentrated flavorings derived from natural ingredients, often using alcohol as a base. They are commonly used in baking and cooking to add authentic flavors to dishes and desserts.

What is the difference between flavor concentrates and extracts?

The main difference lies in their composition and usage:

  • Concentrates: Typically alcohol-free, more versatile, and require dilution.

  • Extracts: Alcohol-based and primarily used for baking or cooking.

Usage Tips

How do I dilute flavor concentrates?

Flavor concentrates are highly potent and must be diluted before use. Here’s a quick guide:

  • For beverages: Use 1-2 drops per 250 ml of liquid.

  • For baking or cooking: Start with a small amount (1/4 tsp) and adjust to taste.

Can flavor concentrates be used in baking?

Absolutely! Flavor concentrates are excellent for baking and can enhance cakes, cookies, and pastries. Start with a small amount to avoid overpowering the dish.

Are flavor concentrates and extracts safe for consumption?

Yes, our flavor concentrates and extracts are food-grade and safe for consumption when used as directed. Always follow recommended usage guidelines.

 

Vaping and E-Liquid Inquiries

Fusion Flavours does not market or label its flavor concentrates for use in e-cigarettes, vapes, or other inhalation products.
Our flavours are manufactured primarily for use in food, beverages, candy making, and DIY applications like baking and aromatherapy. That said, many DIY vapers choose to use food-grade flavorings like ours to create custom e-liquids — but it is your responsibility to research safety and suitability before doing so.

Key Considerations for Vapers

If you choose to use our flavour concentrates in vape applications, please consider the following:

  • ✅ Food-Grade Quality: Most of our concentrates are made from GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) ingredients.

  • ❌ No Diacetyl or Acetyl Propionyl: Many of our flavours are diacetyl-free, but always check the individual product specifications.

  • ❌ No Oils or Fats: Our flavorings are not oil-based unless specifically labeled as such — oil-based products should never be vaped.

  • 🔍 Check Ingredients: Always verify the suitability of each ingredient for inhalation. This includes avoiding flavors with ingredients not proven safe for vaping.

We Do Not Offer:

  • Medical or safety advice related to vaping

  • Pre-mixed e-liquids or nicotine products

  • Warranty or claims for misuse of our products in vaping applications
