Sensapure Flavor House's Origins

What is WONF and What is Type?

WONF and "Type" flavors are both types of natural flavors used in food and beverages, but they differ in how closely they resemble the flavor they're named after:

WONF (With Other Natural Flavors): Contains natural flavoring ingredients derived from the named source (like strawberry), but also includes additional natural flavorings from other sources. This can be done to enhance or intensify the original flavor or create a more complex flavor profile.

Type Flavor (Natural Flavor Type): Uses all-natural ingredients, but none of them come directly from the named flavor (like strawberry type).  These flavors aim to recreate the taste and aroma of the named source using natural ingredients from different sources.

So… exactly how fast can I get custom flavors?
