What it is
Apple solids are derived from apples. They are made by concentrating apple juice or pureeing whole apples and then removing water through drying or evaporation. This process creates a concentrated form of apple flavor and nutrients.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use apple solids to add natural apple flavor, sweetness, and color to foods. They can also act as a binder or thickener. They are commonly found in baked goods like cakes, muffins, and breads, as well as in cereals and snack bars.
Health notes
Apple solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of natural sugars, fiber, and some vitamins and minerals found in apples. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar apple-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts of apple solids in food.
Allergen info
Apple solids are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
