Dehydrated Garlic And Natural Flavors

Dehydrated garlic is dried garlic that has had most of its water removed. This process concentrates its flavor and extends its shelf life. Natural flavors are complex mixtures derived from plant or animal sources, intended to add taste to food.

Dehydrated garlic provides a concentrated garlic taste without the moisture of fresh garlic. Natural flavors are used to enhance or impart specific tastes to a wide range of foods. They are frequently found in savory products like sauces, marinades, processed meats, and snack foods.

Dehydrated garlic is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Natural flavors are also regulated by the FDA. Both are considered safe when consumed in typical amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavorings and food additives, establishing safety standards. Evidence on the health effects of specific natural flavor compounds is ongoing.
