What it is

Grapefruit and lime concentrates are made by removing water from the juice of grapefruits and limes. This process intensifies the natural flavor and aroma of the fruits. The resulting product is a concentrated liquid used to add citrus notes to foods and beverages.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use grapefruit and lime concentrates to add a tart, refreshing citrus flavor to a variety of products. They are commonly found in sauces, dressings, marinades, and beverages. The concentrate provides a more potent flavor than fresh juice, allowing for less volume to achieve the desired taste.

Health notes

Grapefruit and lime concentrates are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are primarily used for flavoring and do not typically contribute significant amounts of nutrients at the levels used. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar citrus-derived flavoring substances. No significant health concerns are associated with the typical consumption of these concentrates.

Allergen info
