What it is
Concentrated apple puree and juice is made by removing water from apples. This process intensifies the natural sugars and flavors of the apple. It is used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in various food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add concentrated apple puree and juice primarily for its sweetening and flavoring properties, acting as a natural alternative to refined sugars. It can also contribute to texture and moisture in baked goods and snacks.
Health notes
Concentrated apple puree and juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of natural sugars and provides some fiber and nutrients found in apples. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated similar fruit-based ingredients. While generally considered safe, like all concentrated sugars, excessive intake could contribute to increased calorie consumption.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Apples are not among the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
