What it is
Lemon concentrate juice is made from lemons. The juice is concentrated by removing water, which intensifies the lemon flavor and aroma. It is often used as a more stable and potent flavoring agent than fresh lemon juice.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add lemon concentrate juice to foods to provide a tart, citrus flavor and aroma. It is commonly found in sauces, dressings, marinades, baked goods, and beverages. Its concentrated form allows for consistent flavor delivery in processed foods.
Health notes
Lemon concentrate juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. It is a natural source of vitamin C. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lemon juice and its derivatives, but no specific ADI is set for concentrate. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Lemon concentrate juice is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
