Ethyl Maltol — Food Grade
Allzone Trading supplies Ethyl Maltol as a white crystalline powder to manufacturers and formulators in Canada and international B2B markets. Also referenced as 2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyrone. Ethyl maltol is a synthetic aroma compound with a sweet caramel-cotton-candy character, used at very low levels as a flavour enhancer and sweetness enhancer rather than as a flavour in its own right.

Technical & procurement detail
What Ethyl Maltol is and what it does+
Ethyl maltol is a synthetic aroma compound with a sweet caramel-cotton-candy character, used at very low levels as a flavour enhancer and sweetness enhancer rather than as a flavour in its own right.
It is a modifier — overdosing is obvious+
At correct levels ethyl maltol rounds and lifts sweetness; above them it reads as a distinct candyfloss note that dominates the product. Establish the ceiling by sensory panel, not by supplier maximum.
Several times stronger than maltol+
Ethyl maltol and maltol are not interchangeable at the same dosage, with ethyl maltol substantially more intense. Re-dose on evaluation whenever switching between the two.
Regulatory status is destination-specific+
Permitted use, permitted level and required labelling for this material differ by country, by product category and by intended claim. Allzone does not represent that the material is approved for your application in your market. Tell us the destination market and the finished-product category, and the available supplier documentation is provided so your regulatory team can complete its own assessment.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
