Dehydrated Cane Juice

Dehydrated cane juice is a sweetener made from the juice of sugar cane. The juice is evaporated to remove water, leaving behind sugar crystals. It is often sold in granulated or powdered form.

Manufacturers use dehydrated cane juice primarily as a sweetener. It adds sweetness and flavor to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, snacks, and beverages.

Dehydrated cane juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a sweetener. Like other sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues such as weight gain and dental cavities. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sweeteners, but specific evaluations for dehydrated cane juice are not publicly detailed. There is ongoing public discussion about the health effects of added sugars.
