Products & Catalog

About our flavor range, forms, and custom development

1 What products does Xi'an Xiantai Flavor Biotechnology manufacture?
We manufacture food-grade flavors for three application categories: Baking Flavors (134 SKU), Candy Flavors (98 SKU), and Seasoning Flavors (96 SKU) โ€” 320+ total SKUs spanning fruit, dairy, meat, vegetable, herb, nut, coffee/tea, floral, vanilla/caramel, bakery, beverage, and mint families.
2 What forms (liquid / powder) are your flavors available in?
We supply both liquid and powder (spray-dried / encapsulation) carrier formats for most catalog flavors. The recommended form depends on your application, processing temperature, and label declaration.

Liquid flavors are typically favored for beverages, confectionery syrups, and spray-on applications. Powder flavors are favored for dry mixes, seasonings, snack coatings, and heat-processed applications requiring shelf stability.
3 Can you develop custom or exclusive flavor blends?
Yes. Our R&D team develops bespoke flavor codes tailored to your application, processing conditions, dosage target, and regulatory requirements. NDA-protected, customer-owned formulations are fully supported throughout the development cycle.
4 Are your flavors suitable for clean-label products?
Yes. Our natural & clean-label capable portfolio uses botanical extracts, fermentation-derived ingredients, and reaction-flavor technology. Many SKUs can be declared as "natural flavoring" or "natural identical flavoring" depending on the regulatory regime of your target market.

Orders & MOQ

Minimum order, dosage, lead time, and OEM packaging

Our standard MOQ is 5 kg across the full flavor catalog, accessible for R&D sampling, pilot batches, and small-scale production. Larger commercial orders are quoted on a per-requirement basis with tiered pricing.
2 What is the recommended dosage of your flavors?
Most flavors perform reliably at 0.05%โ€“0.3% in finished food applications. The exact dosage depends on the specific flavor, application, processing conditions, and desired intensity. Our technical team provides free dosage guidance on request.
3 How long is the lead time for sample and bulk orders?
Sample orders usually ship within 5โ€“7 business days from confirmed order. Bulk orders (โ‰ฅ100 kg) are typically dispatched within 10โ€“15 business days. For custom-blend development, allow additional 2โ€“3 weeks for formulation, pilot batch, sensory evaluation, and final approval.
