What it is

Black currant juice concentrate is made from black currants, a small, dark berry native to Europe and Asia. The berries are pressed to extract their juice, which is then concentrated by removing water. This process intensifies the flavor and color of the juice.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use black currant juice concentrate primarily for its intense flavor and deep purple color. It adds a tart, fruity taste and natural coloring to a variety of products. It is commonly found in yogurts, fruit juices, candies, and baked goods.

Health notes

Black currant juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and anthocyanins, which are antioxidants. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated black currant extracts, but no specific ADI or upper limit is set for the concentrate itself. Research suggests potential benefits from antioxidants, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Black currant juice concentrate is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
