Coconut extract is used to add a distinct coconut flavor to foods and beverages. …

What it is

Coconut extract is made from the white flesh of mature coconuts. The flesh is typically dried, ground, and then steeped in a solvent like water or alcohol to extract its flavor and aroma compounds. This liquid is then filtered and concentrated.

Why it's used

Coconut extract is used to add a distinct coconut flavor to foods and beverages. It is often found in baked goods, desserts, candies, and dairy products like ice cream. Manufacturers use it when a strong coconut taste is desired without the texture of shredded coconut.

Health notes

Coconut extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coconut and its derivatives. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Research on coconut oil, a related product, suggests a complex nutritional profile with both saturated and unsaturated fats.

Allergen info

Coconut is considered a tree nut by the FDA. Therefore, coconut extract is a major allergen.
