Description
Angel Bake Lemongrass Flavor Oil is part of Saena’s Pure Infusions collection — a line of food-grade, MCT-based flavor oils optimized for fat-based culinary applications. Because Pure Infusions products are oil-soluble by design, they integrate directly into fat phases without modification, delivering a rounder, more persistent herbal-citrus aroma that holds up through high-heat processing and cold temperatures alike. Cymbopogon citratus performs beautifully in fat-based preparations — particularly in white chocolate, coconut-based confections, and Southeast Asian-inspired ganache, where its bright, herbaceous citrus character adds a genuinely distinctive and aromatic complexity that no other flavoring can replicate.
Lemongrass flavor oil — Cymbopogon citratus
Our Pure Infusions lemongrass flavor oil is produced from high-quality Cymbopogon citratus in an MCT carrier, delivering the bright, herbaceous citrus character of lemongrass in an oil-soluble format that integrates seamlessly into fat phases without modification. Because MCT is completely flavorless and odorless, the full aromatic complexity of lemongrass — citral-rich, herbal, and distinctly floral — is delivered without carrier interference, making it an ideal choice for white chocolate, coconut-based preparations, Southeast Asian ganache, and fat-based lemongrass confections.
Flavor and aroma
Angel Bake pure lemongrass extract delivers the unmistakable character of Cymbopogon citratus: bright and lemony on the nose, with a clean, herbaceous body and a floral, slightly gingery finish that distinguishes lemongrass from every other citrus-adjacent botanical. The aroma is fresh and aromatic — immediately evocative of a Thai kitchen or a Vietnamese pho broth, yet refined enough to work in cocktails, desserts, and artisan confectionery. Whether used as the primary aromatic in a lemongrass simple syrup or as a subtle herbal note in a white chocolate ganache, it integrates cleanly and consistently, delivering true lemongrass character without the effort of working with fresh herb.
What we don’t have matters
Pure Infusions flavor oils are formulated with the same clean-label commitment as the rest of the Angel Bake range. Every Pure Infusions product is made without:
- Artificial flavors or enhancers
- Synthetic colors or dyes
- BHT or sodium benzoate
We take food safety seriously. Our products are produced in a dedicated gluten-free, allergen-free facility — meaning none of the major food allergens are present in our production environment, not just absent from our formulations. This is a critical assurance for manufacturers supplying allergen-sensitive retail and foodservice channels.
Why MCT? The carrier makes the difference
Pure Infusions flavor oils are formulated in Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides (MCT) — the carrier of choice for premium flavor oils. Because MCT is completely flavorless, odorless, and oxidation-resistant, it protects the full botanical character of every extract without interference. Crystal clear and water-white, it stays liquid and pourable from freezer temperatures through high-heat cooking, and dissolves aromatic compounds cleanly without haze or separation. The result is a Best By date of 3 years from manufacturing and consistent sensory performance in every fat-based application.
Where Pure Infusions flavor oils perform best
Because Pure Infusions products are oil-soluble by design, they integrate directly into fat phases and deliver a rounder, more persistent herbal-citrus aroma that holds up through high-heat processing. Lemongrass performs particularly well in fat-based applications where its aromatic complexity adds an exotic, herbaceous citrus dimension:
White chocolate and coconut-based confections
Lemongrass and white chocolate is one of the most compelling contemporary artisan pairings. Because Pure Infusions products disperse evenly in cocoa butter, they deliver clean, consistent lemongrass character throughout the batch without affecting temper or texture:
- White chocolate lemongrass bars
- Lemongrass ganache and herb-forward fillings
- Coconut-lemongrass truffles and bonbons
- Southeast Asian-inspired chocolate preparations
Fat-based savory preparations
Lemongrass’s aromatic compounds integrate seamlessly into fat-based savory preparations:
- Coconut-based curry pastes and fat-based sauces
- Lemongrass-infused butter and compound preparations
- Fat-based lemongrass marinades and spiced oils
- Savory lemongrass cream sauces
Baked goods and desserts
Unlike alcohol-based extracts, oil-soluble flavors do not evaporate as aggressively during high-heat baking. As a result, they deliver more consistent, stable lemongrass flavor throughout the bake:
- Lemongrass cakes, tarts, and citrus-herb pastry
- Southeast Asian-inspired shortbreads and butter cookies
- Lemongrass panna cotta and cream-based desserts
- Coconut-lemongrass enriched doughs
Ice cream and gelato
Lemongrass ice cream and sorbet is an established category in contemporary and Asian-inspired dessert programs. Because the base is fat-rich, Pure Infusions lemongrass flavor oil integrates smoothly into the fat phase, delivers persistent herbal-citrus character, and the MCT carrier stays liquid and neutral at freezing temperatures for consistent production performance.
Syrups and beverages
Pure Infusions flavor oils can be used in lemongrass syrups and botanical beverage concentrates when paired with an emulsifier such as gum arabic or glycerin for stable dispersion.

Health and wellness
