Lemon flavoring is a concentrated liquid ingredient used in cooking and baking to provide the characteristic taste and fragrance of lemon zest, without the need for fresh fruit. This extract or essence is primarily obtained from essential oils derived from lemon peel through extraction or distillation processes.
Originating from regions where lemons are widely cultivated, such as the Mediterranean and Latin America, lemon flavoring has become an essential component in the preparation of desserts, sauces, beverages, and other dishes that require a refreshing and balanced citrus touch.
Properties: In addition to its unmistakable acidic and refreshing taste, lemon flavoring helps to enhance other flavors in recipes, balancing sweet or savory ingredients. It is a practical option for those looking to incorporate the flavor of lemon without altering the texture or adding juice, as it is much more concentrated. Furthermore, it is an ingredient that is typically used in small quantities due to its potency.
Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: lemon essence, lemon extract, citrus essence, lemon flavoring.
