POLYVINYL ALCOHOL 98-99% HYDROLYZED
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is used in flavorings primarily as a coating agent to protect flavor compounds from moisture and oxygen, effectively masking their taste and odor while maintaining the overall quality of a food product, particularly in confectionery items where moisture sensitivity can be a concern; essentially, it acts as a barrier to preserve the flavor profile over time.
