What it is

Cane alcohol is a type of ethanol, which is a clear, colorless liquid. It is produced by fermenting sugars derived from sugarcane. The resulting alcohol is then purified through distillation.

Why it's used

Cane alcohol is used as a solvent for flavors and colors in food products. It can also act as a preservative, helping to extend the shelf life of certain foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, frozen desserts, and confectionery.

Health notes

Cane alcohol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a component of alcoholic beverages, where its consumption is regulated separately. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated ethanol, and its use in food is widely accepted.

Allergen info

Cane alcohol is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
