What it is
Fruit and vegetable juice concentrates are made by removing water from fruit or vegetable juices. This process intensifies the natural color and flavor of the fruit or vegetable. They are used as a natural alternative to artificial coloring and flavoring agents.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use fruit and vegetable juice concentrates to add natural color and flavor to foods. They are commonly found in yogurts, candies, frozen appetizers, and other processed foods where a vibrant appearance and fruity or vegetable taste is desired.
Health notes
Fruit and vegetable juice concentrates are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are primarily a source of natural sugars and vitamins from the original fruit or vegetable. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar natural food ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Fruit and vegetable juice concentrates are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
