flavorcon_logo_MAIN3

Flavorcon takes place November 15–17, 2015, at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA; registration is now open.

Naturally-derived propanediol can be used as a carrier for flavors and extracts, an alternative to petroleum-based propylene glycol and glycerin, according to Flavorcon 2015 speaker Steve Huff, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products.

During a Flavorcon presentation on November 16, Huff will report findings on various technical studies showing the performance of propanediol as a flavor carrier, including its solubility properties, preservative efficacy and flavor enhancement of some types of flavor chemicals. Propanediol is s-GRAS from the U.S. FDA, FEMA GRAS-approved and meets the quality specifications of USP-FCC and USP-NF. It is certified 100% bio-based by the USDA.
