Dry Flavors

Dry Flavors
To overcome the known weaknesses of dry flavors processed through industry standard techniques of spray drying, GLCC pioneered a novel approach, known as ULTVR, involving low temperature processing within an enclosed recapture system.
Standard spray-dried flavors are normally weak in comparison to liquid flavors due to the techniques used during a standard spray drying process. GLCC has pioneered a novel approach, known as ULTVR, involving low temperature processing within an enclosed recapture system. What this means is that our dry flavors are much more potent than standard spray dried flavors.
After several years of advanced research, we’re now introducing our second generation of dry flavors which includes a full encapsulation of the more volatile and sensitive flavor notes. The ULTVR.2 results in a more concentrated product, improved flavor release, and the ability to make dry flavors comparable to alcohol-based liquid flavors for beverage and food applications.

How it works & why the GLCC flavors are superior

Industry standard practices use high temperatures during the spray drying process; this heat treatment results in the evaporation of the flavor components on the outside of the spray dried particles and a significant evaporation of highly volatile chemicals. The effect is a reduced flavor profile with weak or absent top-note volatiles.

Our ULTVR.2 process achieves an improved result because lower temperatures are used within an enclosed recapture system, preserving the full flavor profile and minimizing the loss of the most volatile components.
