Flavor Emulsions Vs Flavor Extracts Vs Oils

I am wanting to buy flavorings for my buttercreme icing to fill my cakes with. I have mainly found these LorAnn's Oil flavorings and was wandering if I could use those in icing? If not, what do I need to get and where can I find it?
Thanks!
I've used the Lorann flavorings in my buttercream and have even flavored fondant with them. Global Sugar Art is a good place to buy different flavorings as well.
I've tried many and Olive Nation has the besst extracts I have found. some extracts and oils, even if they are pure, can have a chemical or weird aftertaste. I think Lorann oils are a little odd, and McCormack's in the grocery store have an aftertaste. The Olive Nation extracts can be tasted from the bottle (just a drop) pure, and nothing but fruit or other flavor.
I used to buy Frontier brand almond flavor (alcohol free) from Whole Foods for the WASC cake, BUT they stopped selling it, and I really need an almond flavor that is alcohol free, so I found at a local cake supply store "almond emulsion" ... can't remember the brand ... my question is: can I use this in place of almond flavor and how much to put?
Thanks in advance!!!
BTW I think the brand of the almond emulsion I got was "CK" ... anyone have any experience with this brand and flavor?
