Extracts
Pure botanical flavor for beverages and desserts
Extracts capture the characteristic taste and aroma of natural materials such as herbs, spices, tea leaves or botanicals. Through controlled extraction processes, the essential flavor components of the source material are transferred into a concentrated ingredient that can be used in food and beverage applications for recognizable and authentic taste.
For product developers, extracts provide a practical way to integrate plant-based flavor notes into beverages, desserts and flavored drinks without handling raw ingredients during manufacturing.
Examples from our range include peppermint extract, black tea extract, lemon balm extract and ginger extract, offering distinctive botanical notes for a wide variety of beverage, dairy, bakery, and confectionery concepts.
Extracts bring clear botanical or tea notes to ice cream. They integrate smoothly into dairy or plant-based bases and maintain their character during freezing, helping flavors such as peppermint or ginger remain fresh and recognizable.
Extracts provide distinctive botanical notes in beer mixes or hop lemonades. Herbal or citrus extracts can complement hop bitterness and fruit components, creating balanced and refreshing beverage profiles.
Extracts such as black tea extract deliver the characteristic taste of brewed tea in ready-to-drink beverages. They support consistent flavor development while allowing the addition of fruit or herbal notes.

Formulations insights
Development approach
We work closely with our customers to align extract selection with the sensory and technical requirements of the final product. This includes considering sweetness, acidity, carbonation or dairy matrices when designing beverage or dessert applications.
Application trials evaluate how extracts interact with the product formulation and processing steps. This helps ensure that the botanical flavor unfolds in the intended way within the finished product.
Processing advantages
Extracts can be designed to perform reliably in different beverage and dessert systems. They can:
- integrate smoothly in dairy or plant-based ice cream bases,
- maintain clear botanical notes in fruit beverages,
- complement carbonated drink systems,
- deliver consistent tea flavor in ready-to-drink iced teas.
By aligning the extract profile with the product matrix, manufacturers can achieve predictable and balanced flavor results.
