Re: [CH] On the topic of extracts...

Chile pepper 'flavorings' are not to be confused (though easily done)
with extracts.

While extract can be listed as 'flavoring' not all 'flavoring' is
extract.

With the increased popularity of chile pepper stuff, several types of
'chile pepper flavorings' are available, based on the analysis of the
unique chemicals that give them their 'signature'.  Just as diacetyl
returns a flavor of 'butter', food scientists have differentiated items
that return flavors associated with many common chiles.

Manufacturing processes are entirely different, substances used are
entirely different.
