Organic Flavor Extracts

What's the difference between organic flavor extracts and organic flavor concentrates?

The organic flavor extracts are made in a base of organic alcohol and are not as heat stable.  They are best used in clear beverage applications and also in dairy products.

The organic flavor concentrates are made in a base of organic gum acacia. They are much more heat stable but can also be used in ice cream and beverage applications. Aside from the fact that the organic flavor extracts don't like the high baking temperatures, they are very versatile and give the flavor a lot of lift when used in beverages and frozen desserts.

Alcohol-based flavor extracts tend to be more soluble in high fat formulations and that may be why they are found in some baking and always in dairy applications. They easily disperse in water-based formulations and the flavor also tends to be a little brighter.
