The fragrance of the grated lemon rind (= lemon zest) can not be substituted by lemon juice in a cooking receipe. Lemon juice has a prickly sour taste and only a very slight, sometimes flowery fragrance. Lemon zest has a very strong lemony scent but a rather bitter or bitter/oily taste. If you don't have lemon zest for a cake, put something different like brandy, rum or cardamon powder.
No.
1) Not the same flavor. The zest is full of volatile oils.
2) One (juice) is a liquid while the other (zest) is a solid.
3) Even if you were satisfied with just a "lemony" flavor. The amount needed to get a "lemony" flavor is so different that it would screw up any recipe.
I think the main difference is the smell. Lemon juice does not smell as strongly as the zest. Scratch a lemon and smell it.
you could. But I cant say what the results would be without knowing what you are making.
if its adding lemon zest to a baked goods and i had no fresh lemon i would just omit it. Not substitute the juice. But need to know the dish to be accurate.
Lemon zest comes from the yellow portion of the lemon's rind. Lemon extract is a very strong concentration of lemon flavor so only half as much should be used when substituting it for lemon zest.

it will answer all ur lemon questions
Yes, lemon extract can be used in place of lemon zest. If your recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract or 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.
Sure, its not the same thing but who cares? Use juice sparingly.
Yes, you can. Lemon peel is lemon zest. Just grate your peel really fine and make sure not to get the meat of the peel - only the extreme top layer.
I want to use lemon extrct instead of 1 teaspoon of zest
Orange zest works very well.....U cud also try lime zest for soming a little tangier
No, most cleaners use lemon oil which is the substance in lemon zest.
Yes, but they will then taste of orange.
To substitute lemon zest for lemon extract, you'll first need to chop the strips of zest as finely as you can. Then just use a one-for-one substitution: one tsp of finely chopped zest = 1 tsp extract.
yes you can it is the same thing.
You can substitute lemon zest. That's the yellow part of the peel without any white on it.
It depends on the dish. However I use White Balsamic Vinegar as a substitute for Lemon juice in salads.
yes
NO
The zest from any other citrus fruit would work fine. However, the recipe will taste like that citrus instead of lime. I suppose a bit of lime juice could work, but I wouldn't suggest it for a particularly delicate recipe, especially if you're baking. Something sturdy like a soup or stir fry should be fine, though, if you substitute juice for zest.
Lime juice can substitute for lemon juice.
