Guava Extract

Guava extract is a concentrated liquid or powder made from the fruit of the guava tree. The process typically involves extracting the juice or pulp from ripe guavas and then concentrating it through evaporation to preserve its flavor and nutrients.

Guava extract is primarily used to add a distinct tropical flavor to food and beverage products. It is often found in non-alcoholic beverages like juices and flavored waters, as well as in candies, baked goods, and dairy products.

Guava extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants naturally found in guava fruit. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various food ingredients, but specific evaluations for guava extract's safety at typical consumption levels are not widely publicized.
