POPY TRADE Shake & Enjoy Spearmint Gum Aroma

Spearmint Gum Aroma: The taste of mint chewing gum for mixing yourself

The Spearmint Gum Aroma tastes of green spearmint with the familiar sweetness of mint chewing gum. It belongs to the Lemon & Acid / Mint flavour family and is described with the notes Green Mint and Spearmint Chewing Gum. The sweetness is deliberately subtle so that the cool mint freshness takes centre stage. Compared with pure peppermint flavours, the spearmint note is softer and rounds off the taste without a bitter edge. That makes this concentrate especially good for applications where mint should harmonise with sweetness – such as ice cream, pudding or creamy yoghurt. Whether as a fresh accent in a drink or as the main note in a dessert: add it drop by drop until the mint flavour is exactly as intense as you like.

Mixing & application: Shake & Enjoy in practice

Use sparingly, stir or knead it into the desired base and intensify drop by drop if needed. For drinks, desserts and ice cream, start with the recommended 4–6 drops per 100 g – that corresponds to around 1.5 % in the finished mixture. The flavouring is carried in PG, so it blends cleanly into fluid and doughy mixes. Because it is heat- and bake-stable, the mint note survives the baking process in the dough or cream. Whether your own flavour blend with the base, a mint twist in sparkling soda-maker water, a mocktail with a lemon splash or a chocolate-mint combination in a brownie – the range covers everything from cold drinks and yoghurt and quark to coffee and hot drinks. The right dosage for your recipe can be calculated quickly with the flavour calculator for dosage and mixing ratio.

Yield & dosage in detail

The specified dosage is 4–6 drops per 100 g or 1.5 % in the finished mixture – measured as a guideline for food and drinks. Thanks to the highly concentrated flavouring, one bottle lasts for many uses: even with daily use in smoothies or glasses filled with sparkling water, the supply stays stable for a long time. For larger quantities – such as a full sheet cake or a litre of milkshake – scale the number of drops proportionally and stay in the region of 1.5 %. If you like a stronger mint flavour, increase the drop count step by step; if you only want a hint, start with 2–3 drops per 100 g and taste in between. A handy side effect for sugar-conscious cooking: the flavouring brings taste without adding sugar or calories – the real sugar and calorie savings per recipe are shown by the Sugar Saving Calculator.

Ingredients, quality & carrier

The POPY TRADE Shake & Enjoy Spearmint Gum Aroma is a food-grade flavour concentrate of food quality. The carrier is propylene glycol (PG, E1520) – the standard base for food-grade flavourings, taste-neutral and fluid enough for precise dispensing through the drip cap. The sweetness level is categorised as level 2, a subtle sweetness, and no artificial colours are contained. The remaining properties: calorie-free with 0 kcal, sugar-free, vegan, gluten-free. A matching addition for your own blends is the POPY TRADE mixing base of Glycerin & Propylene Glycol in a 500ml container, if you combine flavouring and base yourself. The flavouring does not decide the colour of the finished drink or dessert – it brings the taste, the look is up to you.

Practice check: mint chewing gum flavour for beginners

Here is how a first use goes: you have sparkling water from the soda maker in front of you and the bottle of Spearmint Gum Aroma in your hand. 4 drops go into 100 ml of water, a stir with the spoon, the first sip. The mint comes through clearly – cool green note, subtle sweetness, no bitter aftertaste. A fifth drop for more bite, done. That is exactly how you dose this flavouring without a recipe: always a few drops, stir, taste, add more. The same principle applies to yoghurt with the spearmint chewing gum profile, only that you stir the flavouring straight in rather than dissolving it. In practice, once you have found the same taste, you reproduce it identically the next time, because the drops per 100 g are unambiguous. If you blend several POPY TRADE varieties – for example with the POPY TRADE Shake & Enjoy Banana Aroma variety – work with your own mixing bottles and dose each flavouring separately.
