What it is

Coffee bean extract is a concentrated liquid or powder made from roasted coffee beans. It captures the flavor and aroma of coffee without the need for brewing. The process typically involves extracting soluble compounds from ground coffee beans using water or solvents.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coffee bean extract to add a distinct coffee flavor and aroma to a variety of food products. It is commonly found in baked goods like cakes and donuts, as well as in snacks, beverages, and confectionery.

Health notes

Coffee bean extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The caffeine content can provide stimulant effects, similar to brewed coffee. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coffee and caffeine, but specific evaluations for coffee bean extract as a food additive may vary. Evidence on the health effects of coffee consumption is extensive, with ongoing research into its potential benefits and risks.

Allergen info

Coffee bean extract is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
