Evaporated Lemon Juice

Evaporated lemon juice is made by concentrating the juice of lemons through evaporation, which removes water. This process intensifies the natural lemon flavor and creates a more stable product. It is often used to add a strong, tart lemon taste to foods and beverages.

Manufacturers add evaporated lemon juice to provide a concentrated lemon flavor and tartness. It is commonly found in beverages, desserts, sauces, and marinades. Its intense flavor makes it useful in small quantities where fresh lemon juice might be too dilute or impractical.

Evaporated lemon juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a flavoring agent. It is a source of vitamin C and citric acid, which are naturally occurring compounds. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated citric acid and its salts, generally considering them safe. No specific health concerns are associated with the typical consumption of evaporated lemon juice.
