Juices From Concentrate Of Apples

Juice from concentrate is made by removing most of the water from fresh fruit juice, creating a concentrated liquid. Later, water is added back to reconstitute the juice to its original consistency. This process makes it easier to store and transport.

Manufacturers use juice from concentrate as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in beverages, fruit snacks, and baked goods. It provides a fruity taste and can contribute to the liquid content of products like fruit drinks and smoothies.

Juice from concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of natural sugars and some vitamins, depending on the fruit. JECFA has evaluated many fruit juices and their components. While generally considered safe, excessive intake of fruit juices, like other sources of added sugars, should be moderated as part of a balanced diet.
