What tastes like Corn or ,more specifically, Corn Pops?

submitted over 10 years ago by rlaitinen

So first of all, I'm not obsessed with corn. I recently tried a juice still in R&D from Teleos, and it tasted exactly like Kellog's Corn Pops. I'm not a huge Pops fan, but I could totally vape that all day. But they might not actually release the juice, it was just an experiment.

I tried to figure out where the corn flavoring used in the juice came from. FA makes a corn flavor, but my attempt to find a US distributor of it came up with zilch. I was going to order some from overseas, but now I don't know that's it. I don't know they would have imported it just for this flavor, but maybe they got it as a sample while ordering in bulk.

So my question is, what flavors taste like a sweet corn? Or maybe someone has a corn pops recipe they want to share with me? :D

Or am I gonna just have to suck it up and make an overseas order tomorrow?

I would bet that their 'corn pops' juice contains a decent percentage of AP (acetyl pyrazine). It's an additive that can bring a nutty/bready flavour to a mix, and using lots of it (anything over .5% imo) adds somewhat of a corn chip flavour.

Yeah, I use AP pretty frequently, even up to 1.5% occasionally. That's not what I'm looking for. It's not the "chip", just the corn, that I want. Tho I'm still convinced I could make a decent Doritos type flavor with AP, if I liked Doritos lol

So you ever get around to watching RoboCop?

From my limited experience with AP in my cereals, I figured pairing it with a sweet cream component (vanilla bean ice cream?) Would get you kinda close to frosted flakes. I could be way off. Best of luck, I really haven't heard of much for corn flavours.

> kinda close to frosted flakes

O_O Wow, I did not even think of that. Frosted flakes would be better than Corn Pops. Going to try it right now.

Frosted Flakes seems like it would require some FA Meringue paired with some AP. Sweet cream flavor would provide the milky/cream tone

Check out Popcorn flavoring from Capella. It has that corn smell you are referencing.

You could use my dogs feet for it. They smell like corn chips.

Ah, pseudomonas. Haven't we talked about your dogs feet before? If you cut the hair between the toes, that'll cut back on that smell.

This is going to sound nuts. But a while ago I was dripping just straight grape and then switched to straight cheesecake, the flavor mix in between tasted so much like corn tortilla I will never forget to. Lol I might have to try it again.

I totally misread that and was going to say the Vice Squad. Then I realised you didn't write Porn Cops.
