What it is

Lemon pulp cells are the small, juice-filled sacs found within the flesh of lemons. They are typically extracted from lemons and may be used in their natural form or processed further. They contribute a characteristic tart and fruity lemon flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add lemon pulp cells to provide a natural lemon flavor and a slightly pulpy texture. They are often found in baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, as well as in sauces, dressings, and beverages where a bright, citrusy taste is desired.

Health notes

Lemon pulp cells are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a natural component of fruit and are not associated with adverse health effects when consumed in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have not raised specific concerns regarding their use.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Lemon pulp cells are derived from fruit and do not contain gluten.
