What it is

Lemon juice concentrate is made by removing water from lemon juice. This process intensifies the lemon flavor and aroma. It is often reconstituted with water before use in food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use lemon juice concentrate to add a tart, citrus flavor to a variety of foods and beverages. It is commonly found in fruit juices, candies, baked goods, and sauces. Its concentrated form makes it a convenient and cost-effective flavoring ingredient.

Health notes

Lemon juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. It is a natural source of Vitamin C. JECFA has evaluated lemon juice concentrate and established an acceptable daily intake. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical levels found in food.
