What it is

Lemon powder is made from dried lemons. The lemons are typically dehydrated and then ground into a fine powder. It provides a concentrated lemon flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add lemon powder to provide a tart, citrus flavor to foods. It is often used in seasoning mixes, marinades, baked goods, and beverages. It can also be used in dry mixes where fresh lemon juice is not practical.

Health notes

Lemon powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. It is a source of vitamin C, though the amount can vary depending on the processing. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar flavoring substances. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Lemon powder is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
