Concentrated Apple Juice

Concentrated apple juice is made by removing most of the water from apple juice. This process intensifies the natural sugars, flavors, and colors of the apple.

Manufacturers use concentrated apple juice primarily as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. It is common in beverages, candies, baked goods, and fruit-flavored products where a pure fruit taste is desired.

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 could contribute to high sugar intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit juice concentrates. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
