Magic Line Creme Bouquet Flavoring?

[tweber]

I have a big bottle of this stuff left over from making fondant, and wondered if it's safe to try. I've tried looking up individual ingredients and now have a case of "paralysis by analysis." Can anyone help or has anyone else tried this? Is it safe?

Ingredients:
Oil of lemon and/or other essential oil, other natural extractives, esthers, kentones and aldehyde, such as amyl acetate and methyl vanillin, propylene glygol, polysorbate, gum tragacanth, water, preserved with benzoate of soda

Well the suspension agents and emulsifiers don't look too bad, but I'd avoid it just because of the gum content.

Not familiar with that particular gum, but I've tried a flavoring that had another gum in it and it took out my atty is surprisingly short order. Darn shame because that bakery emulsion smelled so good, but produced diddly-squat for flavor and took out an atty.

I do not see anything that would hurt you to try it though. Well, except for that atty thing.

Thanks for the reply. I've already tried it and it's some tasty stuff - sweet and thick. It completely overpowered the coffee flavor I tried it with, but I'm going to play around. A few searches told me the component flavors are vanilla, butter, almond, and lemon but I don't taste the lemon at all. Tastes and smells alot like buttercream frosting. I'll have to wait and see about the atty issue, but I seem to go through atty's really quick anyway. Don't know if I'll be able to tell if it's the creme or just my normal abuse. Thanks again.

Aldehydes and ketones are generally not a great idea to vape, as some can damage lung tissue. They don't say which are in it, so use caution and if you start coughing a lot, it might be best to avoid...but then that is my rule of thumb for all flavorings. Benzoate of soda is sodium benzoate, and is an ionic salt, and thus might over time leave a residue that atty electronics might not like. But if you aren't too worried about that, or use cartos, give it a shot! Sounds quite delicious!

Thanks for the additional info, Kurt. I've only been using a drop or two and getting a nice creamy taste. I'm not into any heavy DIY yet, just trying to make some of my yuck juices more palatable and the creme bouquet has done the trick. I want to be cautious about any chemicals in my liquids, but I figure almost anything is better than what I was getting when I was smoking.
