This Bergamot Lemon Lime Flavor Extract is a concentrated flavoring solution that combines three distinct citrus profiles in one formulation. The extract features bergamot's floral characteristics alongside the sharp acidity of lemon and the bright tartness of lime. Manufactured without diacetyl, this concentrated extract delivers consistent citrus notes for culinary and beverage applications.
Applications:
The extract integrates into various food and beverage preparations including hot and cold beverages, frozen desserts, baked goods, confections, and culinary sauces. Common uses include flavoring water, tea, lemonade, cocktails, sorbets, ice cream, yogurt, cakes, cookies, muffins, marinades, and sauces for proteins and vegetables. The concentrated nature allows for precise flavor control across different recipe formulations.
Benefits:
The diacetyl-free formulation addresses ingredient transparency concerns while maintaining flavor integrity. The concentrated format provides economic efficiency, requiring minimal quantities to achieve desired taste profiles. The shelf-stable liquid form offers convenience in storage and dispensing compared to fresh citrus alternatives that require refrigeration and have limited shelf life.
Versatility:
This tri-citrus blend adapts to both sweet and savory applications, functioning effectively in hot and cold preparations. The extract maintains stability across various pH levels and processing conditions, making it suitable for commercial food production as well as home cooking. The liquid format allows for easy incorporation into batters, syrups, and liquid preparations without texture modification.
Quality Assurance:
The extract undergoes standardized production processes to ensure consistent flavor delivery across batches. Quality control measures monitor concentration levels, flavor accuracy, and absence of diacetyl compounds. The manufacturing process maintains ingredient purity while preserving the characteristic aroma and taste components of each citrus element.
Sustainability:
The concentrated format reduces packaging requirements and transportation impact compared to equivalent volumes of fresh citrus. Extended shelf life minimizes food waste associated with perishable citrus fruits. The efficient extraction process maximizes flavor yield from source materials, supporting resource conservation in flavor production.
