No amino acids or enzymes involved, just known flavour components on a PG base. The mix is based on commonly used flavor components blended in similar ratios as used in some commercial flavours.
5ml of flavor was added to 2 litres of water.
200 ml of the water was injected under the gravel via a tube.

What can 99 percent of flavorings do apart from changing the ph level.?

I used to say that too. Then I educated myself and found that many flavor components are found in nature and that they are on the lists of possible attractants and stimulants.
What components are used?
What is your observation?
6 different substances found in fruit, milk, and nut flavours.
A pretty good reaction, seemingly better than I have had from any of the substances alone.
By no means a scientific test, but quite surprising tbo.

Hi Viking,
Interesting findings

Most commercial flavorings are acid based , giving purely a change in PH. No need to waste your money on flavours as your bait will change the ph level.

Sorry I don't buy it, a few mm of flavour per kilo of bait is not going to change the pH of the water around the bait out in the pond.
And of course the pH of a flavour does not explain why some flavours are better than others of the same pH.

Its not just a ph change though is it, many years ago when single hookbaits were starting to produce very well we did a lot of testing on ph levels, yet some flavours were far more effective than others with the same acidic ph level.

I agree.
There is 1800 pages of different components in my book on flavour ingredients.
A lot of these fall into the categories mentioned as possible attractants.

These flavorings are developed for the food industry , not for fishing , why would there be components in there that are attractive to carp. These flavorings are just esters .

The flavor components I used are pure chemicals, naturally occuring in foodstuff and animals.
They are not only esters, but a whole range of different substances.
Sorry, mate, you really don't know what you are talking about here. Read a bit about it, don't just repeat what you have been told.

You may be using something completely different to what is available to the fishing industry , if so please post me a link to these flavourings.

Sorry re read the thread your using natural flavourings. My apolygies.

I can think of a number of baits that are definitely more attractive with flavours or essential oils or a combination of them. The carp in tanks and lakes would take them in preference to the plain boiled bait, even food source baits.
Garlic Oil, Cinnamon, Black Pepper to name just three oils.
Mix Garlic Oil with Megaspice, Cinnamon oil with the old Peach Nutrafruit, Black pepper with various flavours, all produce.
Even one of the best baits of all time in Trigga could be improved by the addition of a flavour.

His name is spelled Loeb.
You should consult it yourself sometime.
According to you, flavours are useless, but Loeb himself received a positive feed reaction to imitation maple flavour.
Although Loeb did receive indifferent reactions to various essential oils, he emulsified them first in chemicals that may have had negative properties. His work is therefore irrelevant on the issue of EOs.

Now I wonder....was that because of the fenugreek it may have contained by any chance

Loeb's report may be online, but practical experience from my own testing and experience goes against a lot of what is on there.
And my friend, that is far more important than reading up on something.
