Natural Watermelon Distillate

LAKELAND, Fla.Watermelon Extra 9728 Treattarome®, a natural distillate from Treatt, provides watermelon flavor in beverage formulations. The ingredient is distilled from the watermelon species Citrullus lanatus and produced directly from the fresh fruit. With volatile collection under high vacuum, the absence of extended heat processing ensures that there are no flavor artifacts introduced during the preparation of the ingredient.

Used at a level of 0.1-percent, the water-soluble essence brings an intense melon character, with fruity as the sole flavoring. At lower levels of 0.01-percent or less, it delivers mild watermelon notes.

With no added preservatives or antioxidants, this clean label extract is stable over six months when chilled.
