What carriers do your flavor powders use and why?
Edited
Most standard flavor powders use dextrose as a carrier. Dextrose helps evenly distribute the flavor and improves dispersion in dry mixes.
Sugar-free flavor powders typically use gum acacia (gum arabic) instead of dextrose. This choice affects solubility, viscosity, and mouthfeel. Mesh size and gum viscosity can also influence how the powder performs in different applications.
Processing matters—carriers can behave differently under heat or in systems like syrups and gummies.
