Ethyl Maltol is a high-potency aroma enhancer and flavoring agent characterized by its sweet, caramelized sugar scent. This Food Grade crystalline powder is significantly more powerful than regular maltol in masking off-notes.

The product is a Technical Grade flavorant that excels in intensifying the sweetness of confectioneries and fruit-based beverages. It is highly soluble in propylene glycol and ethanol, making it a versatile gourmand note in perfumes.

Commercially, it is valued for its synergistic effect, allowing manufacturers to reduce sugar content while maintaining a rich flavor profile. Its high stability ensures that the sweet aroma remains consistent through thermal industrial processing.
