What it is
Quillaia extract comes from the soapbark tree (Quillaja saponaria), native to South America. Yucca extract comes from desert plants in the Yucca genus. Both are processed to create a liquid that can create foam or help mix oil and water.
Why it's used
These extracts are used as foaming agents and emulsifiers in beverages like soda and alcoholic drinks. They help create a stable head on foamy drinks and keep ingredients mixed together.
Health notes
Quillaia extract is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Yucca extract is also GRAS. Both are used in small amounts and are not expected to cause health issues at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated these ingredients.
