Blue Pacific Flavors
City of Industry, CA
New on the flavor front at Blue Pacific are its latest innovations for functional and nutritional supplement beverage products as well as organic food products. These new flavor systems are custom engineered to the various processing and formulation demand for these types of products in the marketplace.
The Soy Delivery System (SDS) offers soymilk producers improved taste, aroma and full flavor balance and intensity. It has masking technology engineered into the system to minimize or eliminate the "beany astringency" normally associated with soymilk beverages that are made from soy protein or isolates. The Dairy Delivery System (DDS) provides sport nutrition or meal replacement manufacturers a proprietary flavor technology that can deliver flavor, aroma and full flavor balance after thermal UHT,HTST or retort processing conditions. The engineered flavors do not get absorbed by the whey or milk proteins and they offer a clean flavor release. Products have been formulated with 12-40 grams of protein per 10-ounce serving without any off flavor characteristics. The new flavors for both SDS and DDS include Creme Brulee, Vanilla Nut, Mocha Java, Wild Strawberry and Cookies and Cream.
For organic foods and beverages the company has launched its Sun Ripened Organex™ Fruit Flavor Systems designed to be approved for use in organic food and beverage formulations. These flavors were engineered to be heat stable and are free of any traditional solvents such as alcohol, propylene glycol, glycerin or other chemically derived solvents. They are based on a unique organic liquid cane sugar base and do not use any gums or other traditional emulsifiers. They feature only organic juices, fruit aromas and natural extracts with less than 5% of the flavor coming from non-organic sources. The new flavors include Strawberry, Strawberry Banana and Blueberry. For milk and soy, flavors include Vanilla and Chocolate.
Lastly, the company has developed a natural chocolate or cocoa powder replacement. According to the company, these replacements were developed because of the current worldwide cocoa shortage and escalating market prices.

Raisins have a critical role in flavoring products, according to the California Raisin Marketing Board. As for the nutraceuticals market, they can be used in flavoring systems for a variety of products. Raisin paste is made from 100% all natural raisins and is used as a sweetener, humectant, flavor enhancer and binder. It is also used as a fat replacer in some bakery products and can be used in applications where the presence of fruit particulate is not needed. Raisin juice concentrate is a pure extract of raisins, which like raisin paste, is made without the addition of sugars, preservatives or any other ingredients. It functions as a sweetener, natural coloring agent and a flavor enhancer. Raisins may also be infused with a variety of flavors such as lemon, cinnamon, peppermint, blueberry, cherry, strawberry, jalapeno and raspberry.
