What it is
Spice extractives are concentrated flavor compounds derived from spices. They are produced by extracting the volatile oils and flavor components from spices using solvents like ethanol or supercritical carbon dioxide. The solvent is then removed, leaving a concentrated liquid or solid flavoring.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use spice extractives to add or enhance the flavor of foods. They provide a consistent and potent spice flavor without the visual presence of spice particles. They are commonly found in seasoning mixes, marinades, processed meats, snacks, and baked goods.
Health notes
Spice extractives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended use as flavoring agents. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various spice derivatives. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects. There are no widespread controversies regarding their safety in food.
Allergen info
Spice extractives are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
