About Crab extract
Crab extract is a concentrated ingredient derived from crab, used to provide crab character in prepared foods. The record does not specify the crab species, extraction method, concentration, or whether the extract is liquid, paste-like, or dried. It is distinct from whole crab meat and from a blended crab paste.
Depending on its form and concentration, it may be used in small quantities to contribute seafood flavour to a food product. Its appearance, salt content, and intensity cannot be inferred from the name alone. Nutrition comparisons should match the extract’s physical form, concentration, and any accompanying ingredients rather than treating it as ordinary crab meat.
