Smoke is vapour and fine particles from combustion or heating, used in food processing to impart smoky aroma and flavour, with source and application varying.

About Smoke
Smoke is the vapour and fine particles produced during combustion or heating of material, and it can be used in food processing to impart smoky character. The catalogue term does not identify the source material, production method, or whether it refers to smoke applied directly or a food-grade smoke product.
In food manufacture, smoke may be used to flavour or process foods, leaving a smoky aroma and taste. The form and intensity depend on the material and method; smoke itself is not a single fixed recipe or one specific additive preparation. This entry does not infer a particular source or application.
