What it is
Extractives of lime are natural flavorings derived from the fruit of the lime tree. They are produced by extracting the aromatic compounds from the peel, juice, or pulp of limes, often using solvents or steam distillation.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add extractives of lime to provide or enhance a bright, citrusy flavor in foods. They are commonly found in snacks like popcorn, peanuts, and chips, as well as in seasoning mixes, marinades, sauces, and beverages.
Health notes
In the U.S., lime extractives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated flavorings, and EFSA has also assessed flavoring substances. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Lime extractives are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
