Lemon And Lime Juice Concentrates

Lemon and lime juice concentrates are made by removing water from lemon and lime juices. This process intensifies the natural flavor and aroma of the fruits. The resulting concentrate is then often diluted back with water for use in food and beverages.

Manufacturers use lemon and lime juice concentrates to add a bright, tart flavor to a variety of products. They are commonly found in beverages like sodas, juices, and flavored waters, as well as in baked goods and candies.

Lemon and lime juice concentrates are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. They are a natural source of vitamin C. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated citrus-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
