Flavor Naming Guide

To keep our flavor database clean and consistent, please follow this naming format when entering flavors:

Where MFG is the manufacturer's abbreviation from the table below.

Flavor name first, manufacturer last. Always put the flavor name before the manufacturer abbreviation in parentheses.

Use abbreviations, not full names. Use TPA not The Flavor Apprentice, use CAP not Capella.

TFA and TPA are the same company. The Flavor Apprentice is also known as The Perfumer's Apprentice. We use TPA as the standard abbreviation.

Sub-brands go before the manufacturer. For example, Almond Cookie (SC) (WF) — the (SC) means Super Concentrate, which is a sub-line of Wonder Flavours (WF).

Flavor descriptors stay in the name. If a flavor has a descriptor like "Green" or "Ripe", keep it as part of the name: Apple (Green) (CSC), not Green Apple (CSC).

Use the autocomplete! When entering flavors in the calculator, start typing and select from the dropdown suggestions. This ensures consistent naming and links your recipe to the correct flavor in our database.
