The benefits of Essential Oil as Food flavors

Essential oils (EOs) are widely used in the food industry as natural food preservative to extend product shelf life and as flavoring agents. Essential oils are widely used as flavoring and preservative in foods, such as ice cream, meat, and fish dishes. Essential oils such as Fennel present a richness in polyphenols and flavonoids as well as antibacterial activity. There is a growing increase in demand for natural and safe products and essential oils may provide that need for future applications in food industries. Furthermore, many essential oils (EOs) of aromatic plants have been used for a long time in foods by the hygienic, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and perfume industries and are generally recognized as safe in such usage. Studies show that essential oils from laurel function as a natural preservative to improve food safety and extend shelf life by controlling spoilage and toxigenic molds as well as oxidative damage.

Increased Efficiency When Using Essential Oil as Food Flavoring

Essential oils are widely used in the food industries for flavoring, food enhancement, and for their preservative qualities. Studies show that Lavender essential oils have excellent flavor properties. The essential oil, Cajuput (Melaleuca cajuputi subsp. Cajuputi) is one of the Australian myrtle family species commonly found in Pulau Buru (Maluku, Indonesia). Its oil, the M. cajuputi essential oil (MCEO), has been utilized as the main flavor of the Indonesian functional food, Cajuputs Candy. The sweet little sister of the Lemongrass fragrance, Litsea Cubeba is a citrusy-scented plant that is also known as the Mountain Pepper or May Chang. Litsea cubeba (LC) is widely used and is very popular as a food flavoring. In the food industry, the essential oil of Litsea cubeba (LCEO) can serve as a natural preservative for fruits and vegetables, especially for foods vulnerable to gram‐negative bacteria. Fennel, (Foeniculum vulgare) is an aromatic plant widely used nowadays as flavoring as well as food preservative in foods, such as ice cream, meat, and fish dishes.
