What it is
Alcohol 35 is a type of ethanol, a clear, colorless liquid with a distinct odor. It is produced through the fermentation of sugars by yeast. This process is similar to how alcoholic beverages are made, but the resulting product is purified for use in food.
Why it's used
Alcohol 35 is often used in baked goods like cakes, cupcakes, and croissants. It can act as a solvent for flavors and colors, help preserve the product, and contribute to a desirable texture. It may also be used in some frozen doughs and sweet rolls.
Health notes
Alcohol 35 is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a common component of many foods and beverages. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated ethanol, and it is considered safe at levels typically found in food. Excessive consumption of alcohol can have negative health effects, but this is not related to its use as a food ingredient at approved levels.
Allergen info
Alcohol 35 is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
