Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The pounds to liters result for vanilla extract should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A pound of vanilla extract fills a different number of liters than a pound of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
