Lemon And Orange Pulp

Lemon and orange pulp are the fleshy segments of citrus fruits, including the juice and sometimes small, edible seeds. They are derived from the edible parts of lemons and oranges, processed to retain their natural characteristics.

Manufacturers add lemon and orange pulp to provide natural citrus flavor, color, and texture to foods. They are commonly found in beverages like lemonade, iced tea, and powdered drink mixes, as well as in some baked goods and desserts.

Lemon and orange pulp are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are a natural source of vitamin C and other nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated citrus-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
