Unveiling The Mystery: Understanding Flavor And Fragrance Carriers

A flavor or fragrance carrier is a base ingredient used to enhance the evaporation or diffusion of a fragrance material or the fragrance blend. Alcohol is the carrier of choice for fine fragrances, but natural oils (olive oil, jojoba oil, and many others) can be used as carriers for essential oils. Carrier oils are readily absorbed by the skin and do not evaporate quickly. This gives them strong staying power, which makes them good base materials for many applications.

Common flavor carriers are propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol/ethanol, vegetable glycerin, and triacetin

Flavor carriers are food-safe solvents that are used to enhance the evaporation or diffusion of a fragrance material or the fragrance blend. The most common flavor carriers are propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol/ethanol, vegetable glycerin, and triacetin.

Propylene glycol is a food-safe solvent that is commonly used as a flavor carrier. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is readily absorbed by the skin and does not evaporate quickly. This gives it strong staying power, which makes it a good base material for many applications.

Ethyl alcohol/ethanol is another common flavor carrier. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is readily absorbed by the skin and does not evaporate quickly. This gives it strong staying power, which makes it a good base material for many applications.

Vegetable glycerin is a food-safe solvent that is commonly used as a flavor carrier. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is readily absorbed by the skin and does not evaporate quickly. This gives it strong staying power, which makes it a good base material for many applications.

Triacetin is a food-safe solvent that is commonly used as a flavor carrier. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is readily absorbed by the skin and does not evaporate quickly. This gives it strong staying power, which makes it a good base material for many applications.

Common fragrance carriers are alcohol, natural oils, and carrier oils

Alcohol, natural oils, and carrier oils are common fragrance carriers.

Alcohol is the carrier of choice for fine fragrances, but natural oils (olive oil, jojoba oil, and many others) can be used as carriers for essential oils. A carrier is fundamental when preparing any perfume. If referencing alcohol as a carrier in fine fragrance blends, the ratio to fragrance can be anywhere from 10:90% to 40:60% depending on format, application, and the fragrance oil attributes.

Carrier oils are made from natural and organic ingredients and are used to dilute Nature’s Flavors fragrance oils and essential oils. Carrier oils are readily absorbed by the skin and do not evaporate quickly. This gives them strong staying power, which makes them good base materials for many applications.

Plant-derived carrier oils for fragrances include coconut oil, avocado oil, almond oil, golden jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, and apricot kernel oil. Many of the carrier oils offered at Nature’s Flavors have nourishing properties, combining a few of these oils is excellent for use in skincare applications.

Food-safe solvents, most commonly propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol/ethanol, vegetable glycerin, and triacetin, are the most common carriers for flavor. To create a specific taste, chemists blend aromatic chemicals, essential oils, botanical extracts, essences, and anything else they might need to achieve the end product.
