About Bay leaf extract
Bay leaf extract is a preparation made from bay leaves and used to contribute their flavour to foods. The name specifies an extract form but not the botanical species, plant part beyond the stated leaf, extraction method, concentration, carrier, or physical form. It may be added as a flavouring ingredient to prepared foods, sauces, or seasoning products, with use depending on its potency.
The extract may be liquid, paste-like, or powdered, and its colour and flavour strength depend on processing and formulation. Its flavour is bay-like, but the precise aroma profile is not determined by the name alone. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish the concentrated extract from whole or dried leaves and account for any carriers and the product’s concentration.
