Fruit Juice Concentrate Blend

Fruit juice concentrate is made by removing water from fruit juice. This process intensifies the natural flavor and color of the fruit. It is often a blend of several fruit juices to achieve a specific taste profile.

Manufacturers use fruit juice concentrate as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. It can also contribute to the color of food products. It is commonly found in beverages, baked goods, and frozen breakfast items.

Fruit juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars and some vitamins, depending on the fruits used. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fruit-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
