What it is
Lemon juice powder is made from dehydrated lemon juice. It is produced by removing water from liquid lemon juice, often through spray-drying or freeze-drying methods. This process concentrates the flavor and aroma of fresh lemons into a stable powder form.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use lemon juice powder as a flavoring agent to impart a tart, citrus taste to foods. It is also used to add acidity and a fresh lemon note without the liquid content of fresh juice. You can find it in seasoning mixes, marinades, sauces, baked goods, and beverages.
Health notes
Lemon juice powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It provides vitamin C, an essential nutrient. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lemon juice and its derivatives. At typical consumption levels in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Lemon juice powder is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
