plant extract
Derived vegetable substance
A plant extract is a substance obtained by removing compounds from plant material using solvents, heat, or pressure.
Extracts concentrate specific properties—flavor, fragrance, or medicinal compounds—into usable form: vanilla extract, green tea extract, herbal extracts in supplements.
The extraction process separates desired components from the bulk plant matter.
