Abstract
A flavor composition for an oral electrolyte hydrate solution comprises ethyl esters, citrus oil concentrates, and sweet and fruity flavor components. Ethyl esters are used instead of more typical allyl esters because they are innocuous in dehydrated children whose health may be compromised. The ethyl esters are selected from ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl caproate, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate and ethyl heptanoate. The flavor composition provides an innocuous tutti-frutti (bubble gum) flavor to the oral electrolyte hydrate solution.
