What it is
Lemon Juice Powder Corn Syrup Solids is a mixture of dehydrated lemon juice and dried corn syrup. Lemon juice powder is made by removing water from lemon juice, often using a carrier like corn syrup solids to help with the drying process. Corn syrup solids are a powdered form of corn syrup, which is a sugar made from corn starch.
Why it's used
This ingredient is added to foods to provide a tart, citrus flavor and sweetness. It also functions as an acidity regulator, helping to balance flavors, and can contribute to the texture and bulk of a product. It is commonly found in savory items like pizza, frozen dinners, and various sauces.
Health notes
Both lemon juice and corn syrup solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As common food ingredients, they are not typically evaluated by organizations like JECFA for specific acceptable daily intake limits. Corn syrup solids contribute to the added sugars content of foods. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal.
