What it is

Organic cane alcohol is a type of ethanol produced from the fermentation of organic sugarcane. The process involves converting the sugars in sugarcane into alcohol, which is then purified. It is often used as a solvent or preservative in food products.

Why it's used

Health notes

It is a common component of alcoholic beverages, where its effects are well-documented. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated ethanol and set guidelines for its use.
