The Flavor Apprentice develops water-soluble food flavorings for DIY mixing. Sweet and Tart is an additive-style flavor designed to introduce a combined sweet and lightly acidic sensation without adding a distinct fruit profile. This highly concentrated flavor must be diluted before use. It is commonly used to enhance candy-style mixes and brighten fruit blends where both sweetness and tang are desired. All TFA concentrates are PG-based and water-soluble. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
