Maltol

Maltol is a naturally occurring organic compound that is used primarily as a flavor enhancer. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in hot water, chloroform, and other polar solvents.

Because it has the odor of cotton candy and caramel, maltol is used to impart a sweet aroma to fragrances. Maltol’s sweetness adds to the odor of freshly baked bread and is used as a flavor enhancer in breads and cakes. It is known in the European E number food additive series as E636.
