Lemon Peel Powder

Lemon peel powder is made from the dried and ground outer rind of lemons. The peel contains natural oils and flavor compounds that give lemons their characteristic aroma and taste. It is used to add a concentrated citrus flavor to foods and beverages.

Manufacturers use lemon peel powder as a flavoring agent to impart a bright, citrusy taste. It is commonly found in seasoning mixes, marinades, baked goods, desserts, and beverages. It can also add a subtle tartness and aroma.

Lemon peel powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various citrus-derived flavorings, but specific evaluations for lemon peel powder may vary. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical dietary levels.
