What is yuzu extract liquid concentrate?
Yuzu (Citrus junos) is an aromatic hybrid citrus — a cross of Ichang papeda and sour mandarin — native to East Asia and prized in Japanese and Korean cuisine for its fragrant peel and sharp, floral tartness. Bionutricia concentrates the fruit into a 10:1 water-soluble liquid using an ultrasonic green-biotechnology process, giving formulators a consistent, ready-to-dose natural citrus flavour and colour system instead of variable fresh fruit. Its signature aroma derives from compounds such as yuzunone and yuzuol.
What is it used for in formulation?
It is used as a natural flavour and colour in beverages — ready-to-drink lines, cordials, sodas, teas and mixers — and in desserts, ice cream, jelly, baking, jam and dressings, typically dosed at about 0.1–1% (quantum satis, to taste and format). The concentrate is water-soluble and disperses cleanly into liquid systems; shake before use and refrigerate after opening. Contact the team for application-specific guidance.
