Manufacturers use spice extractives to impart or enhance the natural flavor of spices in …

What it is

Spice extractives are concentrated flavor compounds derived from spices. They are produced by using solvents like water, alcohol, or oil to extract the aromatic and flavorful components from spices such as pepper, cinnamon, or cloves. The solvent is then removed, leaving a potent liquid or solid flavoring.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use spice extractives to impart or enhance the natural flavor of spices in foods. They offer a consistent and intense flavor profile compared to whole spices. They are commonly found in processed meats, baked goods, sauces, and snack foods.

Health notes

Spice extractives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated many spice-derived flavorings. At typical consumption levels found in food, they are not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at these levels.

Allergen info

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