The useful answer

Lemon Extract and the low FODMAP diet

Lemon extract is concentrated citrus essential oil dissolved in alcohol for baking applications. The distillation process removes sugars, pulp, and problematic carbohydrates entirely. This pure aromatic solution delivers intense flavor without introducing fermentation triggers. Sensitive individuals incorporate it freely into frostings and batters safely.

Preparation & context

What can change the result?

Always use pure extract rather than artificial flavorings to achieve authentic citrus profiles safely during baking. Measure carefully to prevent overpowering delicate dessert balances and maintain intended flavor ratios. Store bottles tightly sealed in dark cabinets to preserve volatile compounds. Substitute lemon juice cautiously when recipes require acidity without liquid volume increases.
