Beef meat extract, identified by the CAS number 68990-09-0, is a concentrated substance derived from beef that is rich in proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. It is primarily used as a flavoring agent and nutrient source in various food products, particularly in soups, broths, and sauces. The extract is produced by cooking beef in water, which allows the soluble components to leach out, followed by evaporation to concentrate the flavors and nutrients. Beef meat extract is characterized by its savory umami flavor, which enhances the taste profile of culinary dishes. It is typically high in sodium, which acts as a preservative and flavor enhancer. Additionally, the extract may contain various bioactive compounds that can contribute to its nutritional value. Due to its concentrated nature, it is used in small quantities, and its application extends beyond food to include uses in microbiological culture media, where it serves as a nutrient source for the growth of microorganisms.
