About Mace

The botanical name for mace is Myristica fragrans, and it belongs to the Myristicaceae family, which also includes nutmeg. Mace is the dried, outer covering of the nutmeg seed and has a warm, spicy flavor with a slightly sweet aroma. Northern Extracts uses Supercritical Fluid Extraction to produce an extract from mace. This method involves subjecting the dried mace to high pressures and ambient temperatures to extract the desired compounds. The resulting extract is a pure, natural product with a yellowish-brown color and a rich, aromatic flavor. Our mace extract can be used in a variety of applications, including in the food industry as a natural flavoring agent and in the cosmetic industry as an ingredient in perfumes and skincare products.
