👉 Extract fluid, often referred to as a "fluid extract" or "liquid extract," is a concentrated liquid preparation derived from plant materials, typically herbs, spices, or fruits. The extraction process involves soaking the plant material in a solvent, such as ethanol or water, to dissolve its active compounds. This solvent is then filtered and concentrated to remove impurities, resulting in a potent liquid that retains the essential oils, flavors, and bioactive components of the original plant material. Extract fluids are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries for their concentrated flavors, medicinal properties, and preservative qualities.
