Fruit Juice And Grain Dextrins

Fruit juice concentrates are made by removing water from fruit juice. Grain dextrins are produced from starch, typically from corn or wheat, through a process called hydrolysis. They are often used together as a natural sweetener and texturizer.

This combination functions as a natural sweetener and binder in food products. It is commonly found in snack bars, energy bars, and some candies, where it helps provide sweetness and improve texture.

Fruit juice concentrates and grain dextrins are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are primarily sources of carbohydrates and sugars. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar carbohydrate-based ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
