Lemon Fruit Extract

Lemon fruit extract is a concentrated liquid or powder made from lemons. It is produced by extracting flavor and aromatic compounds from the peel, pulp, or juice of the fruit, often using solvents or distillation.

Manufacturers add lemon fruit extract to provide a natural lemon flavor and aroma. It is commonly found in beverages like water, juices, and nectars, as well as in baked goods and confectionery.

Lemon fruit extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. It is a natural source of vitamin C and other antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated lemon and its extracts, generally finding them safe for consumption. No specific health concerns are associated with typical intake levels.
