Description
Angel Bake pure Persian lime extract is part of the Culinary Aromatics collection — Saena’s line of pure, clean-label flavor extracts designed for the widest range of culinary applications. The Culinary Aromatics line is formulated for the widest possible range of culinary applications — from baking and beverages to cocktails, chocolate, and savory preparations. No added sugar and no propylene glycol means it fits naturally into keto, low-carb, and clean-label dietary requirements without compromise. From margaritas and ceviche to Thai curry, key lime-style desserts, and lime-dark chocolate ganache, Citrus latifolia brings a clean, tart, distinctly green citrus character that is the backbone of cocktail culture, Mexican cuisine, and Southeast Asian cooking worldwide. What changes from flavor to flavor is the botanical character — everything else about the line’s performance, purity, and versatility remains constant.
Pure Persian lime extract — Citrus latifolia
Persian lime — Citrus latifolia — is the world’s most widely cultivated and commercially used lime variety. Unlike Key lime (Citrus aurantifolia), which is more aromatic and floral, Persian lime delivers a cleaner, more assertive tart citrus character — bright and green on the nose, with a sharp, refreshing acidity and a subtle floral finish. It is the lime of margaritas, ceviche, guacamole, Thai curry, and the majority of commercial lime flavoring worldwide precisely because of this clean versatility.
Our pure Persian lime extract is produced from high-quality Citrus latifolia, capturing the full aromatic profile of the fresh lime peel: intensely green and citrusy, with a bright tartness and a clean, refreshing finish. Because it is concentrated and consistent year-round, it eliminates the batch-to-batch variability of fresh lime juice and zest — delivering the same vivid lime character in every drop, regardless of season.
Flavor and aroma
Angel Bake pure Persian lime extract delivers the unmistakable character of Citrus latifolia: intensely green and citrusy on the nose, with a clean, sharp tartness and a refreshing, slightly floral finish. It is brighter and greener than lemon — more assertive, more tropical, and with a distinctive quality that makes it immediately recognizable as lime rather than any other citrus. Whether used in a classic margarita, a ceviche marinade, or a lime-dark chocolate ganache, it integrates cleanly and consistently, delivering true Persian lime character in every drop.
What we don’t have matters
At Angel Bake, ingredient integrity is as important as flavor quality. That is why the Culinary Aromatics line is formulated without:
- Artificial flavors or enhancers
- Synthetic colors or dyes
- Propylene glycol
- BHT or sodium benzoate
- WONF (with other natural flavors)
- Added sugar or artificial sweeteners
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. Furthermore, because our extracts are made with organic ingredients, they meet the clean-label demands of the most discerning retail and foodservice buyers.

A clean, no-added-sugar citrus flavoring
Unlike commercial lime-flavored syrups, margarita mixes, and drink concentrates — which typically contain added sugars, artificial flavors, and artificial colors — Angel Bake delivers pure Citrus latifolia flavor with no added sugar and no artificial ingredients. Because of this, it integrates naturally into keto, low-carb, and diabetic-friendly recipes without any reformulation.
Furthermore, the Culinary Aromatics line is the ideal base for homemade lime syrups and citrus cocktail bases. Combine your preferred sweetener with hot water to dissolve, then add 8 to 10 drops of extract per cup. As a result, a single bottle replaces an entire season of commercial margarita mix and lime syrup purchases at a fraction of the cost, with complete control over tartness and sweetness.
The Culinary Aromatics Kit
The Culinary Aromatics Kit is designed for precision flavoring in both production and service environments. It includes a precision dropper for measured, consistent dosing and a fine-mist spritzer for post-production aromatic finishing.
For Persian lime, the spritzer opens a compelling finishing application — a single spritz over a finished margarita, a ceviche plate, a taco bowl, or a Thai curry delivers a burst of bright, green citrus aroma at the moment of service that fresh-cut lime cannot match for consistency. The Kit is equally at home in a Mexican or Southeast Asian restaurant kitchen, a craft cocktail bar, or a bench-scale session for a beverage developer working on a new citrus profile.
