Product Description

Butyric, like cream liqueur, toffee or baby vomit, rancid”

Certified soft drinks flavour standard used to train professional soft drink tasters to recognize and scale the intensity of butyric character.

Butyric acid contaminates soft drinks via sugar syrups. Growth of contaminant bacteria in such syrups leads to its formation. This note can also be occasionally caused by penetration of adhesive label components into soft drinks which have been packaged in plastic bottles. Butyric acid imparts a rancid flavour, reminiscent of baby vomit, and is consequently universally rejected by consumers.

Food grade | Free from sensory impurities | Extensively tested | Safe to smell and taste.

IMPORTANCE

Butyric acid imparts a rancid note to soft drinks, reminiscent of baby vomit, which is especially prominent in products of low pH value. While regarded as desirable in some types of confectionery, it is generally rejected by consumers of soft drinks.

ORIGINS

Butyric acid is produced in sugar syrups by bacteria, including Bacillus spp. and Clostridium spp. It is also occasionally caused by penetration of adhesive label components into soft drinks which have been packaged in plastic bottles.

HOW TO TASTE

The best way to evaluate rancid flavours in soft drinks arising from butyric acid is as follows. Cover the sample with your hand and swirl the glass to release the aroma. Remove your hand and take a single long sniff. Repeat as necessary.
