Preparations including extracts of natural products such as wood and use thereof as flavorings for food and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages

This invention describes a method for creating flavored extracts from wood for use in food and beverages. The process involves taking wood that has not been previously extracted with water or ethanol, and first treating it with a flavored ethanol solution. This pre-treatment step, often by soaking, prepares the wood to impart specific flavors before it is further processed into an extract.

Why it matters: The core chemical processes for extraction and flavoring have not significantly changed since 2023. Regulatory approval for novel food ingredients and consumer acceptance of wood-derived flavors remain significant hurdles for commercialization.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SimpleWood, ethanol, containers, filters
