Ethylmaltol and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Ethylmaltol is a synthetic compound commonly used as a flavor enhancer in the food industry. It is known for its sweet, caramel-like aroma and is used to intensify flavors in various products, including baked goods, confectionery, and beverages. Ethylmaltol is derived from maltol, which is a naturally occurring compound found in larch trees, pine needles, and roasted malt. However, maltol can also be produced from lactose, which may be a concern for vegans.
