Concentrate Apple Juice

Concentrated apple juice is made by removing most of the water from apple juice. This process intensifies the flavor and sweetness of the juice. It is often used as a base for other apple-flavored products.

Manufacturers use concentrated apple juice primarily as a sweetener and flavor enhancer. It is also used to add apple flavor and color to a variety of foods. You can find it in candies, fruit juices, nectars, fruit drinks, and baked goods.

Concentrated apple juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, and like other fruit juices, excessive consumption can contribute to calorie intake. JECFA has evaluated apple juice concentrate and has not set a numerical limit on its intake. No significant health controversies are associated with its typical use in foods.
