Caramel Flavor - Feed Ingredient

Caramel flavor is a non-nutritive additive used in equine feeds and supplements to enhance palatability. It is typically produced by heating carbohydrates, such as corn syrup or sucrose, in a controlled process known as caramelization. This process develops a distinct sweet, toasted aroma and taste that is appealing to animals.

In equine nutrition, caramel flavor is used in small quantities to improve the acceptance of feeds, especially those containing less palatable ingredients such as medications, minerals, or certain supplements. It does not contribute any meaningful nutritional value in terms of energy, protein, vitamins, or minerals. Caramel flavor is categorized as a sensory additive and is included for its flavoring properties rather than its nutrient content.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Caramel Flavor as an ingredient.
