What it is
Aronia juice concentrate is made from the aronia berry, also known as the chokeberry. The berries are pressed to extract their juice, which is then concentrated by removing water. This process intensifies the color and flavor of the juice.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use aronia juice concentrate primarily for its deep purple color and tart flavor. It can act as a natural food coloring and add a fruity note to beverages, desserts, and snacks. It is often found in fruit juices, flavored drinks, and some baked goods.
Health notes
Aronia berries and their juice are rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins. These compounds are studied for their potential health benefits, though research is ongoing. The FDA has not established specific regulations for aronia juice concentrate as a food additive, but it is generally recognized as safe when used as a food ingredient. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated related compounds in berries.
Allergen info
Aronia juice concentrate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
