Ketchup Top Note Liq Spice Blend

Description

Ketchup is a popular table condiment characterized by a vibrant deep red color, which naturally comes from the lycopene in ripe tomatoes. Its distinct sweet and tangy flavour profile is the result of a balanced blend of ingredients.The rich, red hue is a key characteristic that consumers associate with quality and fresh, well-matured tomatoes. The depth of the red can vary between brands and is a result of processing techniques; for instance, vacuum cooking at lower temperatures helps preserve the vivid natural pigment.The taste is a complex interplay of four main profiles: sweet, sour (from vinegar), salty, and umami (savoury). Common flavor notes in the spice blend include onion powder, garlic powder, allspice, cloves, cumin, and sometimes cinnamon, which together create a subtle, warming, and universally appealing taste.
