How heat-stable are flavor emulsions?

Nature's Flavors flavor emulsions are our most heat-tolerant liquid flavor format, built for high-heat processing. The gum acacia holds the flavor oil in place, so an emulsion performs from lower-heat uses such as cooked puddings and hot-pack syrups (around 175–180°F) up through hard-candy cooking, which reaches about 350–375°F. For the most demanding, sustained heat, our High Heat Emulsions are built to hold flavor through prolonged high-heat processing — for example, roughly 30 minutes at 375°F — so more of the flavor carries through to the finished product. Some flavor is still lost gradually at very high heat, though an emulsion holds onto it well under those conditions. We recommend validating in your own process.
