What it is

Clarified lemon juice concentrate is made from lemon juice that has been heated to remove pulp and cloudiness. The juice is then concentrated by removing water, resulting in a more potent liquid with a stronger lemon flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it to add a natural lemon flavor and tartness to a variety of beverages and foods. It is commonly found in lemonades, teas, sodas, and baked goods where a distinct citrus note is desired.

Health notes

Clarified lemon juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C, an essential nutrient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated lemon juice and its derivatives, but specific evaluations for clarified concentrate may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from lemons, which are not among the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA.
