Organic Flavor Extract Usage: 

Start at under 0.5% of your total volume and slowly work up to a maximum of 4%. You will need to experiment with the amount of organic extracts and flavorings you use to achieve the perfect strength for flavoring your recipe. If you notice a medicinal or minty taste with organic extracts for baking, chances are you have over-flavored your recipe. Try reducing the amount of organic flavor extract you are adding to the recipe. 

A few of the most popular flavors of organic flavoring extracts are:

• organic peppermint extract

• organic strawberry extract

• organic mango flavor extract

• organic blue raspberry flavoring extract

In addition to our organic food flavor extracts, we offer a variety of natural flavor extracts made with plant-derived ingredients. 

FAQs

What is an organic extract?

Nature's Flavors' organic flavor extracts are water-soluble flavors made in a base of organic ethyl alcohol. These flavor extracts are USDA-certified organic, food-grade, kosher, vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, and contain NO allergens. Our organic extract flavors are best used in clear beverages, dairy products, and applications where you don't want to disturb the clarity and translucency of the product.

What makes our organic extracts water-soluble?

At Nature’s Flavors, our flavor chemists have created organic flavor extracts that are pure water-soluble flavors. Like our organic flavor concentrates, these extracts readily dissolve into water-based applications. However, we do not recommend adding organic liquid extracts to an oil base, as separation may occur.

What happens to organic extracts in high-heat applications?

It is important to note that organic flavor extracts and colors will become less potent when exposed to high-heat applications, and some of the flavors will bake out. Nature's Flavors’ organic flavor concentrates are more heat stable than our organic flavoring extracts. We also offer natural flavor emulsions for high-heat applications!

Should I use an organic flavor extract or a concentrate?

Nature's Flavors' organic flavoring extracts and organic flavor concentrates are both certified organic, all-natural, and water-soluble. Flavor concentrates, however, have a cloudy and opaque look to them, while the organic flavor extracts are clear. This is not because the concentrates are any less pure, but concentrates are set in a gum acacia base, while organic flavoring extracts are set in an alcohol base. It depends on your end result – if you want to maintain a clear appearance, use our organic extracts.

What ingredients are in our organic flavor extracts?

At Nature’s Flavors, our skilled flavor chemists have developed our organic flavoring extracts, just like all of our extracts and flavorings, made with natural plant-derived ingredients. Our organic extract flavors contain the following ingredients: water, organic ethyl alcohol, as well as natural and organic plant and vegetable extracts.
