Grape Juice Concentrate And Water

Grape juice concentrate is made by removing water from grape juice. This process intensifies the flavor and color of the juice. Water is added back to dilute it to the desired concentration for use in food products.

Grape juice concentrate and water is primarily used as a sweetener and flavor enhancer in foods. It provides a natural grape taste and color. It is commonly found in jams, jellies, fruit spreads, candies, and beverages.

Grape juice concentrate and water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, and like other fruit juices, its consumption contributes to overall sugar intake. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated grape juice and its components, but specific evaluations for the mixture of concentrate and water as a distinct ingredient are not widely published.
