Flavourings labelled sour have pronounced acidity, almost always combined with fruit. Sweet frequently appears alongside it; the flavouring then already brings a sweet-and-sour balance.
Balancing sweetness and acidity
- More acidity: A sour flavouring can give definition to a very sweet blend.
- Less acidity: If a sour flavouring is too strong for you, a sweet or creamy flavouring balances it.
- With a cooling effect: If cold is listed, a cooling effect is already included.
- Exotic: shows that the acidity comes from tropical fruits.
Even small shifts in the share noticeably change the balance of sweetness and acidity. So go by the dosage information on the label. The product description shows you whether a sour flavouring comes as a concentrate or a longfill. Sour flavourings are available from 5EL, Bad Candy, SC, Dinner Lady and Dr. Frost, among others.
