Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does TJS Flavour Specialists do?
We offer two closely linked services. Firstly, we provide vacuum drying processing, converting liquid flavours into powder or granular form for flavour houses and manufacturers. Secondly, we supply our own range of flavours, always in a dry format, giving customers an option that traditional flavour houses cannot offer directly.
Can you process flavours I already have, or only supply your own?
Both. If you already have a liquid flavour and need it converted into powder or granular form, we can process it for you using our vacuum technology. Alternatively, you can choose from our extensive inhouse library of both sweet and savoury profiles.
What's the difference between powder and granular flavour?
Powder is a fine, evenly textured product, ideal for easy blending and dissolving. Granular flavour has a more defined texture with a larger micron / particle size.
This is often preferred where a slower release or more visible texture is needed. We can advise which format best suits your intended application.
How do I know if vacuum drying is right for my flavour?
Vacuum drying is uniquely suited to a wide range of liquid flavours, particularly where heat sensitivity, flavour retention, or shelf stability are important. Get in touch with details of your product and we’ll let you know whether it’s a good fit, along with the expected format and yield.
Is Freeze Drying and Vacuum Drying the same process?
No, these are very different processes and solutions. Freeze drying freezes the product and turns ice directly into vapor via sublimation. Vacuum Drying uses low temperature and low pressure to gently extract moisture and liquid allowing the materials key top note characteristic, profile and flavour intensity be retained.
