Clarified Clementine Juice Concentrate

Clarified clementine juice concentrate is made from the juice of clementines, a type of mandarin orange. The juice is concentrated by removing water, and then clarified to remove pulp and other solids, resulting in a clear liquid. This process intensifies the natural flavor and color of the clementine.

Manufacturers use clarified clementine juice concentrate primarily to add a natural citrus flavor and sweetness to beverages, particularly sparkling juices and fruit drinks. It can also contribute to the color and aroma of food products. Its concentrated form allows for efficient flavor delivery in a variety of ready-to-drink beverages.

Clarified clementine juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of natural sugars and vitamin C. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit juice concentrates, but specific evaluations for this exact form may vary. At typical consumption levels found in beverages, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
