Reduced-Cost Clear Oak Extract

MELVILLE, N.Y.Comax Flavors developed a reduced-cost oak extract that is as clear as water. It can be used anywhere that fluid extract, solid extract, distillate or essence is used. With less than 0.1-percent art top-note added, the flavor can substitute for some or all of the oak extract used in an alcoholic beverage where the standard of identity does not apply, with no limitation on usage. While it was originally developed for alcoholic beverages, it can be used virtually anywhere an oak impact is desired.

In light of the increasing costs associated with oak products, Comax Flavors clear oak extract was designed to replace oak extracts across a wide range of food and beverage applications. It is ideal for use wherever there is an added value to a clear, water-white appearance and is advantageous for delivering aged alcoholic beverage notes into sauces or beverage mixers, as well as adding depth to flavors such as vanilla or cranberry. It is also available as a natural flavor type.
