Flavours are tough nut to crack

Create Flavours has launched a range of liquid and encapsulated natural, nut-free nutty flavours specifically for the bakery and confectionery sectors.

The full range consists of peanut, hazelnut, walnut, macadamia and almond. The firm says it developed the flavours in response to the growing trend for retailers and consumers "now scrutinising ingredient lists more closely than ever"

Create spent more than 12 months developing the nut-free nutty flavours. The range has been tested in a raft of baked and confectionery applications. They can be used to give leading flavours and a background note. The firm says the "hazelnut works particularly well in chocolate and cocoa-based products", says Create's md Jonathan Jones, who adds: "Natural nut-free peanut and hazelnut flavours have historically been extremely difficult to create."
