HOW DO I USE FLAVOUR NATION FRUIT LOOPS ESSENCE?

How much do I add?
Use 1 – 3 grams per kilo or 1 – 3 ml per litre. If you’re wondering how many drops to use, we suggest adding +- 6 drops per 100 ml of mixture. Our neat dilution ratio calculator can help you if you’d like to calculate how much flavouring to add to an existing recipe

Be sure not to over-flavour. Adding too much flavouring can result in a bitter aftertaste.
______

What kind of foods can I flavour?
Flavour Nation flavouring is perfect for use in confectionery goods.

For best results, make sure there is sugar or a sugar-alternative present in whatever you’re adding our Flavour Nation Fruit Loops flavouring too; sweetness will make this flavour shine in your recipe. If you really want to make the fruity element of this flavour pop, consider adding citric acid to your mixing bowl. Our fruity essences shine in the presence of sugar and citric acid.

Our Flavour Nation Fruit Loops flavour is a beautifully fruity flavour. It works wonderfully when added to any existing ‘Vanilla’ recipe or to puddings and desserts that don’t have a strong existing flavour profile. For example, our Fruit Loops flavour would work far better in white chocolate than it would in milk chocolate or dark chocolate seeing as white chocolate tends to have a more subtle flavour profile. 

It works beautifully in baked and unbaked recipes. 
______

Does it change the texture of the food?
No. Because you only need a small amount, it will not affect the structure of your bakes or treats. Your cake will still rise, your cookies will still spread and your icing perfectly creamy.
______

Does the flavour change when baked and heated?
Nope. Fruit Loops essence is heat-stable, and keeps its fruity cereal flavour from first stir to final bake.

______

How do I get the flavour to really pop?
Our Fruit Loops essence thrives in the presence of sweetness, so if you’re adding it to a recipe that contains sugar or sweetener (and perhaps even citric acid), then you’ll get that colourful, fruity, unmistakable Fruit Loops pop in every bite.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does a bottle last?
A 20 ml bottle of Flavour Nation can last as long as it takes you to flavour roughly 10 litres of deliciousness. We suggest you add between 1 ml and 3 mls per litre of whatever you’re adding it to. If you whip up a litre of Fruit Loops flavoured ice cream every Friday and you add 2 ml of Flavour Nation flavouring to the mix every time, a little 20 ml bottle will see you through 10 Fridays!
______

Does Flavour Nation Fruit Loops Flavour expire?
Good news – our essences don’t actually expire! The best-before date, set 1 to 1.5 years from manufacture, is there because the flavour might change ever so slightly over time. Even better, the shift is usually minimal, so your little bottle of Flavour Nation deliciousness will keep delivering the flavour you love well beyond its best-before date. Yey!

Can I use Flavour Nation Fruit Loops flavour in body products?
Our Flavour Nation range is 100% food grade, made for all your delicious bakes, drinks and treats. While we’ve experimented with our flavours in a gazillion yummy ways, they haven’t been tested for use on the skin. Even natural ingredients like cinnamon can cause irritation, so we don’t recommend using them in body products unless properly tested for allergic reactions. Your skin is precious and sensitive, and we want to keep it happy ❤ We’re sorry we can’t offer more guidance on this!

FRUIT LOOPS FLAVOUR PROFILE AND STRENGTH TEST

How to initially test the flavour profile and strength:

1. Pour 50 ml chilled milk, or weigh out 50 grams of vanilla ice cream.

2. Add 3 drops of flavouring to your 50 ml/g.

This is a middle-of-the-road dilution suggestion. It’s the equivalent of adding 2 grams/ml per kilo/litre where our suggested dilution range is 1 – 3 ml/g per litre/kilo.

3. Stir and taste.

4. If you taste bitterness, and you feel like you’ve over-flavoured, or if you feel like the flavour could be intensified, start again with a fresh measurement of 50 ml/g and dose differently. If you feel like you over-flavoured with 3 drops per 50 ml/g (2 g per kg/litre) then add 2 drops per 50 ml/g (1g per kg/litre). If you feel like you under-flavoured with adding a middle of the road 3 drops per 50 ml/g, then ramp it up. Take 50 ml/g and add 5 drops to it for a 3g per kg/litre dilution ratio.
