Halal Vanilla Extract
By introducing an alcohol-free concentrated vanilla extract, Frutarom
USA now provides a flavoring suitable
for halal foods and heat-intense applications. The new Solid Extract (SE)

Vanilla Bourbon claims the same quality and flavor profile as standard vanilla extract and is compatible with applications where regular vanilla extract
is used. Using an ethanol-and-water
solution to extract the vanilla flavor,
the company then distills the results
to remove the alcohol and most of the
water. The resulting extract is water
soluble, unlike oleoresins and essential
oils, which are difficult to use in waterbased systems. The product comes in a
highly concentrated syrup form equal
to a 10-fold extract in strength. It is also
highly heat resistant. Phone (800) 5267147; Web www.frutarom.com

Organic Vanilla Powder
Nielsen-Massey Vanillas announces availability of certified-organic
Madagascar Bourbon pure vanilla
powder. The vanilla complies with
USDA's National Organic Program
(NOP) standards for organic products. It is made from certified-organic vanilla bean extractives. The
company employs its unique coldextraction process to slowly and gently extract the maximum flavor from
vanilla beans without heat-damaging
the delicate volatile compounds. The
result is an organic vanilla powder
with creamy, sweet, smooth, mellow
vanilla flavor. Phone (800) 525-7873;

ingredients are now being marketed by
