Confection Flavoring

Confectionery Flavors For Gummies, Chocolates And Beyond

Confectionery is where flavor can be the whole story. Gummies, chews, hard candy, panned pieces and chocolates live or die on the strength of their flavor and texture. Consumers expect bold taste, clear identity and often a hint of nostalgia.

Northwestern Extract Company offers confectionery flavors designed for gummy bases, chocolate, compound coatings, hard candy and more, with options that can handle high heat, low water activity and different sweetener systems.

Classic And Modern Territories

• Fruit and gummy profiles
  Strawberry, watermelon, cherry, grape, blue raspberry, mixed berry, tropical blends and sour counterparts.

• Candy and dessert profiles
  Cotton candy, bubble gum, caramel, butterscotch, birthday cake, cookies and cream, s’mores and other “treat yourself” flavors.

• Chocolate and nut accents
  Hazelnut, peanut, almond, praline, mocha and flavored chocolate notes that can support premium confectionery lines.

These can be used alone or layered to create multi note experiences, such as layered gummies or filled chocolates.

Built For Color, Texture And Sweetener Systems

Confectionery products often use specialized sweeteners, gelatin systems and colors. Flavors need to stay clear and stable through cooking and setting, and they need to play nicely with different sweetener profiles from sugar and glucose to sugar alcohols. Northwestern flavors are developed with these conditions in mind so your samples taste like your finished product.
