Quinine HCl (quinine hydrochloride) is a high-purity alkaloid extracted from the bark of the Cinchona tree and refined into a stable, water-soluble salt form. Known for its distinct bitter taste, Quinine HCl is widely used as a flavouring component in beverages—particularly tonic waters—as well as in specialised food, nutraceutical, and technical formulations requiring controlled bitterness or traditional botanical character. This ingredient provides excellent solubility, rapid dispersion, and consistent sensory intensity, making it suitable for beverage syrups, carbonated drinks, bitters, botanical blends, and flavour systems. Quinine HCl is used purely as a flavouring, and its use is regulated under EU and UK food legislation, including maximum permitted levels in beverages. It must not be used or marketed for medicinal or therapeutic purposes. Supplied as a fine crystalline powder, Quinine HCl offers strong compatibility with citrates, botanical extracts, natural flavours, acids, and sweeteners. Its characteristic profile enhances modern premium mixers, adult soft drinks, and flavoured tonic concepts.Our Quinine HCl is fully traceable and supplied with comprehensive technical documentation including specification, MSDS, and Certificate of Analysis. It reflects Cambridge Commodities’ commitment to quality, service, and innovation in high-performance flavouring and botanical ingredients.
