About
Spice Extracts
Spice extracts are natural, pure and consistent
in flavor, aroma, and color. The advantages of
quality spice extracts are widely recognized.
These include:
- Uniform, and wholesome flavor of the spices
- Consistent color
- Free from microbial contamination
- Long shelf life
By contrast,
dry spices have disadvantages. They sometimes
have poor and irregular variations in flavor and
color. Color, texture and flavor of dry spices
are also affected if not stored properly.
Spice extracts offer an excellent means to add
natural concentrated flavor to your favorite
recipes. They are produced
by extraction and distillation and represent the
true essence of the spices and can replace spice
powder with equal or better flavor
characteristics.
Spice extracts guarantee superior quality of
flavor and aroma. They are complete and
balanced, consistent and standardized and are
free from contamination.
Extracts provide
the flavor of the source spice, but in a more
consistent, easy-to-handle form.
For example, in marinades, using spice extracts
is more advantageous
because they give a much quicker flavor
absorption.
