What it is

Carrot extract is a concentrated liquid or powder made from carrots. It is produced by extracting compounds from carrots, often using water or solvents, and then concentrating the liquid or drying it into a powder.

Why it's used

Carrot extract is primarily used to add natural color to foods, ranging from yellow to orange and red hues. It is found in a variety of products, including beverages, sauces, baked goods, and confectionery.

Health notes

In the US, carrot extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It contains beta-carotene, a precursor to Vitamin A, and other antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated carrot extracts, and EFSA has also reviewed carotenoids. Typical dietary intake is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Carrot extract is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
