Clarified Lime Juice From Concentrate

Clarified lime juice from concentrate is made from lime juice that has been concentrated and then clarified. Clarification removes pulp and other solids, resulting in a clear liquid. It is used to provide lime flavor and acidity without the cloudiness of regular juice.

Manufacturers use clarified lime juice from concentrate to add a tart, citrus flavor and acidity to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, sauces, marinades, and desserts where a clear lime flavor is desired.

Clarified lime juice from concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a flavoring agent. It is a source of vitamin C. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lime juice and its components, but no specific ADI or numeric limits are typically set for this ingredient in its common food uses. No significant health controversies are associated with its consumption at typical levels.
