Lime Leaf | Bextract™ | Citrus latifolia Custom Extracts

Complex taste with a clear “lime” point of reference for drinkers.  Lime leaves are sourced from an organic lime farm inland from Noosa in Queensland.  The “leafy” characteristics impart authenticity and depth. You can tell that this is a natural product. Opportunity for real product differentiation. This is a novel flavour that can help you to differentiate your beverages and brand.

Limes originated in India or Southeast Asia and came to Europe by the fifteenth century.  With half the sugar content of lemons, and slightly more acid, they play a distinct role in cocktails.  Chemical analysist of limes shows that they are higher in linalool and α-Terpineol, two rich floral flavours, and that the peel contains oils that add a warm, spicy note.
