What it is

Concentrated lemon juice is made by removing water from lemon juice. This process intensifies the flavor and aroma of the lemon. It is used to provide a lemon taste and acidity in foods and beverages.

Health notes

It is a source of vitamin C, which is essential for immune function and skin health. JECFA has evaluated citric acid, a component of lemon juice, and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
