What it is
Apple juice concentrate is made by removing water from apple juice. This process intensifies the flavor and aroma of the apple juice. It is often reconstituted by adding water back to create regular apple juice or used as an ingredient in other food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use apple juice concentrate as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. It's commonly found in fruit juices, nectars, fruit drinks, and candies to provide an apple taste and sweetness.
Health notes
Apple juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of natural sugars and provides some vitamins and minerals found in apples. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit juice concentrates. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts found in foods.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Apple juice concentrate is derived from apples, which are not among the nine major allergens.
