What it is

Lemon juice concentrate is made by removing water from lemon juice. This process intensifies the lemon flavor and makes it easier to store and transport. It is often reconstituted with water before use.

Why it's used

Lemon juice concentrate is used to add a tart, citrus flavor to foods. It is commonly found in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, baked goods, and beverages. Its concentrated form allows for a strong flavor with a small amount.

Health notes

Lemon juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamin C, an antioxidant. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated lemon juice and its derivatives. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Lemon juice concentrate is derived from lemons, which are not among the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA.
