Goji Juice Concentrate

Goji juice concentrate is made from the berries of the goji plant (Lycium barbarum and Lycium chinense). The berries are typically juiced, and then the liquid is concentrated to remove water, intensifying the flavor and color.

Goji juice concentrate is used to add a tart, slightly sweet flavor and a deep red color to beverages, particularly fruit juices and "superfood" blends. It can also be found in other products like snacks and popcorn for flavoring.

Goji juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Goji berries contain antioxidants and nutrients, but research on the health effects of concentrated juice is limited. JECFA has evaluated goji berries and set an acceptable daily intake. There is ongoing research into the potential benefits and interactions of goji berry consumption.
