Clarified Carrot Juice Concentrate

Clarified carrot juice concentrate is made by extracting juice from carrots, then concentrating it by removing water. The "clarified" part means that solids and cloudiness have been removed, often through filtration or centrifugation, resulting in a clear liquid.

Manufacturers use it primarily as a natural colorant, providing a yellow to orange hue. It can also contribute a mild vegetable flavor and sweetness. It is often found in beverages, snacks, and fruit and vegetable blends.

Clarified carrot juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants naturally found in carrots. Regulatory bodies like EFSA and JECFA have not specifically evaluated this concentrated form, but the parent vegetable is widely consumed and considered safe. No significant health concerns are associated with its typical use in foods.
