Flavorings from the grocery store these days, and even from health food stores, are so highly diluted I could use half the bottle at a time and still not get the effect I was after. Especially McCormick and its related brands; those don't taste right to me and I suspect they are actually synthetic FOs.

Hi DD, Folks.....

A number of EOs I've seen come marked FCC approved...

One of the largest users, if not the largest, of approved EOs is the
food/flavorings industry....These folks use them in drums.....

I would guess that these EO and extracts, in many cases, might not be of
the "quality" required by the perfume and AT market...And I would bet
that some food EO and extracts are the very same "quality" as sold to
perfumers and the AT crowd...Just not in drums usually...<G>....

So, for example, I've flavored olive oil for cooking with oregano and
garlic EO*......

To a certain extent, some vendors may be CYA'ing themselves, simply due
to the high concentration levels invoved in essence extraction....

Also...depending upon method of extraction, certain spice and herb
extractions won't have the "flavoring" component(s) come through the
extraction process, though most seem to, to me......

Or compounds that aren't an issue in the botanical as picked, say, do
come through in undesirable concentrations when extracted.....

*If you want to meet a truly awesome EO......garlic EO is the one....
I am not saying pleasntly awesome....One, maybe two drops will flavor
4-8 oz of olive oil, depending on your garlic tolerance......
Onion EO is another.....
The garlic EO is stored in two plastic baggies, and then within a
jar....And ya can still occasionally get a whiff....It has it's own
place separate from all of my other essences...
