What Is St. John's Bread Roasted Solid Extract?
St. John's Bread Roasted Solid Extract is a thick, roasted solid extract of carob, Ceratonia siliqua, prepared from the seed of this Mediterranean tree and finished in a corn-syrup base. Bio-Botanica supplies it full-spectrum and non-standardized, giving supplement and food-and-beverage developers a rich, spoonable carob concentrate. The roasting step deepens carob's naturally sweet, cocoa-like character.
Market Demand
Carob has re-emerged as a caffeine-free, naturally sweet alternative to cocoa, and that repositioning drives fresh formulator interest across better-for-you food and beverage lines. As shoppers cut back on caffeine and added sugar, carob's naturally sweet profile positions it well for indulgent yet cleaner concepts, and a roasted solid extract gives brands a concentrated base to build those formats around.
Formulation Applications
The solid extract works in syrups, functional-food bases, chews, lozenges, and flavored liquid concentrates, melting smoothly into warm systems and coatings for even flavor distribution. Carob is traditionally associated with mood and stress, offered for structure/function positioning only, not as a consumer health claim.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica has extracted botanicals since 1972 at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York, where this seed is roasted and concentrated under close process control to preserve a Holistically Balanced profile of naturally occurring constituents. The onsite quality lab runs HPLC, ICP/MS, microbial, USP, and heavy-metal testing, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available on request.
