Develop Oil-Based Liquid Maple Flavor -- 2

I need a skilled flavour chemist to create a food-grade, oil-based liquid maple flavour specifically suited for hookah applications. The profile must replicate authentic maple syrup sweetness, remain stable when heated in shisha mixtures, and disperse evenly in a typical glycerin or molasses base without separation. Please formulate from GRAS ingredients only and keep the finished product clear or lightly amber with no visible sediment. I will require small lab batches for sensory testing followed by a scalable formulation that can be transferred to contract manufacturing. Deliverables • 50–100 ml pilot sample for evaluation • Complete formula with concentrations, processing steps, and suggested suppliers • Stability and sensory notes (24 h, 1 week, 1 month at room temperature) • Scale-up guidance to 50 kg Once the pilot passes internal panel tests, we can discuss additional maple variants and other flavour collaborations.
