Double extract flavourings? Are they the equivalent strength to powders? The ratio is 10:1 on powders, but not the extracts. How does that work?Updated 8 months ago

Powders and liquid extract flavourings are made using different processes.

Our powders are 10:1 which means that 10kg of mushroom material has been used to make 1kg of powder. The powder is made using a spray-drying process.

Our liquid extract flavourings are 1:2 which means that 1kg of mushroom material is used to make 2L of liquid extract flavourings. The liquid extract flavourings are made using a double extraction method (water and alcohol based). This process ensures that both water soluble compounds and alcohol soluble compounds are present in the end product and bioavailable for the consumer.

We believe that the liquid extracts flavourings contain a range of full spectrum compounds acting synergistically together while powders are an isolate of single compounds.

For your own purpose, we advise you to test the difference - some people prefer the powders, others prefer the liquids.
