The Flavor Guy: Best Uses for Flavor Extracts

The Flavor Guy, goes through a quick rundown of how extracts are made, their best uses and applications, and the percentages by volume that you should be using for your flavoring needs.

FAQs

A flavor extract is a concentrated liquid that captures the essence of natural ingredients like vanilla beans, almonds, or citrus fruits. Made by extracting flavors through organic alcohol or glycerin-based solutions, these potent extracts deliver authentic taste to your recipes with just a few drops. Nature’s Flavors natural and organic flavor extracts elevate your creations without any artificial ingredients or synthetic additives.

While often used interchangeably, these products have distinct characteristics:

Extracts are made by infusing natural ingredients in alcohol, creating authentic flavor profiles. They're typically alcohol-based and offer the most natural taste.

Concentrates are highly potent versions of flavorings, requiring less product per use. They are often water-soluble and perfect for beverages and candies.

Artificial extracts are synthesized in laboratories using chemical compounds to mimic natural flavors. While less expensive, they lack the complexity and depth of natural ingredients and may contain synthetic additives.

Natural extracts are derived from natural ingredients. Nature’s Flavors’ natural extracts contain complex flavor compounds that create depth and nuance in your recipes, delivering authentic taste with the integrity your customers deserve.

Which is better? Nature's Flavors' natural extracts deliver superior flavor, clean ingredients, and no artificial chemicals. For businesses serving health-conscious consumers, natural extracts aren't just better, they're essential.

Proper storage preserves your natural extracts' potency and extends their lifespan:

Store in a cool, dark place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. A pantry or cupboard away from your stove is ideal since heat and light degrade delicate flavors over time.

Keep bottles tightly sealed between uses to prevent alcohol evaporation and maintain concentration.

Avoid temperature fluctuations, so DO NOT refrigerate extracts; condensation can introduce moisture and dilute the product.

Use clean utensils when measuring to prevent contamination.

Maintain original packaging when possible, as dark glass bottles protect against light exposure better than clear containers.

Our made-to-order natural and organic extracts are best used within three years from purchase for optimal flavor potency, though the alcohol acts as a natural preservative that prevents true spoilage.
