Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Earth_Environment/EnvironmentOntology)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'extract, concentrate or isolate of plant or animal'?

A. A the concept is a food product made primarily of plant or animal fat or oil
B. A physical-chemical component separated from the food source or its parts by extraction, centrifugation, filtration, heat processing, expressing or a similar process. The separated component may be converted through further processing. If this is done, the final substance is indexed. A water-extracted component may remain in aqueous dispersion. The extract, concentrate or isolate is indexed in preference to the anatomic part from which it is derived. For example, peanut oil is indexed under *PEANUT* combined wih *FAT OR OIL* rather than with *SEED OR KERNEL*. On the other hand, fruit and vegetable juices can be indexed under *FRUIT JUICE OR NECTAR* or *VEGETABLE JUICE* (A. PRODUCT TYPE); therefore the anatomic part of the plant should be indexed.
C. Extract, concentrate or isolate high in sugar, oligosaccharide or polysaccharide.
D. A mix or ready made sauce for dipping or adding to food, especially salad.
