Chicken Extract with Salt (Code 3954)
This shelf-stable chicken extract contains added salt and delivers a savory, roasted, salty flavor profile. With 46% solids (plus or minus 3%), this pourable tan-brown extract provides concentrated chicken flavor for applications where salt is desired as part of the flavor system.
The extract’s robust flavor makes it suitable for soups, sauces, gravies, and other preparations where chicken stock reduction would traditionally be used. The shelf-stable format eliminates refrigeration requirements while maintaining flavor integrity.
Chicken Stock without Salt (Code 3963)
This unsalted chicken stock extract offers a light, clean umami flavor with 64% solids (plus or minus 3%). The pourable brown liquid provides pure chicken flavor without added sodium, giving chefs and formulators complete control over seasoning levels.
The clean flavor profile makes this extract versatile for applications requiring chicken base without additional salt content. The higher solids concentration delivers intense chicken flavor in smaller usage amounts.
Applications for IDF® Chicken Extracts
IDF® Chicken Extracts work well in soups, sauces, gravies, marinades, and prepared foods where chicken stock or broth flavor is desired. The extracts integrate seamlessly into both hot and cold applications, providing consistent chicken flavor without the time required for traditional stock reduction.
Food manufacturers can use these extracts in seasoning blends, dry mixes, and convenience foods. The shelf-stable format simplifies inventory management and reduces cold storage requirements compared to traditional stocks.
