What it is

Organic alcohol, also known as ethanol, is a clear, colorless liquid produced by the fermentation of sugars by yeast. In the context of food, it is typically derived from organic grains or fruits. It is used as a solvent for flavors and extracts, and can also contribute to preservation.

Why it's used

Alcohol is frequently used as a solvent to extract and preserve flavors and colors from natural sources. It is also used in some food products to help maintain texture and act as a preservative. It is commonly found in sauces, marinades, and some baked goods.

Health notes

Alcohol is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated alcohol and established an acceptable daily intake. While moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages is associated with certain health risks, the levels of alcohol used as a food ingredient are typically very low and are not considered a significant health concern.

Allergen info

Alcohol itself is not one of the nine major allergens. However, if derived from wheat or barley, it could potentially contain gluten, though the refining process usually removes gluten.
