Ethyl Maltol can be used as flavours. Flavours are food ingredients and food additives that give food a particular taste or smell. In the shape of white crystalline powder, it has a fragrant odor. Ethyl Maltol can still preserve its sweetness and aroma after it is dissolved in the water. And its solution is stable. As an ideal food additive, Ethyl Maltol features safety, innocuity, wide application, good effect and little dosage. It also can be used as good flavour agent in tobacco, food, beverage, essence, wine, daily-use cosmetics and so on. It can effectively improve and enhance the aroma of the food, enforce the sweetness for sweetmeat and prolong the shelf life of food. Since Ethyl Maltol is characterized with little dosage and good effect, its general added amount is about 0.1 to 0.5 ‰. Sometimes, just a fraction of PPM is enough.
