Description

We offer natural lavender hydrolate for foods, obtained from the species Lavandula angustifolia. It is offered under the name Lavender natural hydrolate for food on the international market. The Lamiaceae family includes herbaceous and subshrub plants in which the glandular covering of the aerial organs is responsible for the accumulation of volatile substances. The aerial stalk of the whole plant is used for distillation. Glandular trichomes of the capitate and peltate type grow on its surface. Steam distillation keeps the aromatic profile of the liquid clear, as the aqueous base absorbs a limited range of volatile compounds from the aerial raw material of the plant itself. The pigments of the aerial part do not pass into the aqueous phase, which is why the color of the finished product remains between colorless and slightly yellowish. The product is a clear liquid without a dense and viscous internal structure. The mild strength of the scent results from the limited proportion of volatile substances, while the aqueous base occupies the rest of the total volume of the finished liquid. The floral side stands at the forefront of the aromatic profile, and the herbal side follows it closely. Linalool and linalyl acetate shape the characteristic aroma of this entire species. The plants are tended naturally on Bulgarian agricultural land. The natural care of the plants carries over into the composition, so the liquid remains free of preservatives, colorants and other external additives in its final form. The aqueous phase in labiate plants is enriched with polar oxygenated compounds. In addition, the origin is limited to the Bulgarian plantations of the species. More precisely, this combination explains the soft floral imprint of lavender in the finished distillate.

Application
Lavender hydrolate is used as a natural flavoring in desserts and confectionery, to which it adds a delicate floral and herbal nuance. It is used in syrups and essences intended for flavoring ice cream, creams and baked goods, as well as in additions for chocolate and honey products. It is included in seasonings for home cooking, as well as in marinades and sauces with a fine aromatic note. It is also applied in jellies, jams and marmalades, where it contributes to a characteristic and recognizable flavor profile. It is found in tea blends and herbal infusions, in flavored sugars and salts, as well as in products for decorating confectionery. It is also suitable for dessert sauce formulas and fruit compotes, in which a mild floral taste is sought to complement the main ingredients of the recipe. It is also used in cake glazes and filling creams, as well as in a light form for flavoring fruit salads and muesli mixes.

Storage

After opening, use the contents within 6 months and limit the amount of air in the container. Use only aluminum or glass bottles for food products, preferably dark glass, which protect the hydrolate for foods from light.
