What it is

Organic spice extractives are concentrated flavor compounds derived from spices like pepper, ginger, or cinnamon. They are produced by using a solvent, such as organic ethanol or supercritical carbon dioxide, to extract the aromatic and flavorful components from the spice. The solvent is then removed, leaving a potent liquid or solid extract.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic spice extractives to add or enhance the natural flavor and aroma of foods. They provide a consistent and intense spice profile without the visual presence of spice particles. These extracts are commonly found in processed meats, baked goods, sauces, and convenience meals.

Health notes

Organic spice extractives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as flavoring agents. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many spice extracts, often setting acceptable daily intakes. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns related to their use in food.

Allergen info

Spice extractives are not derived from the major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
