What it is

Lemon pulp is the fleshy interior of a lemon, including the juice, pulp segments, and sometimes small seeds. It is derived directly from the fruit of the lemon tree (Citrus limon). The pulp is typically separated from the peel and used as is or processed further.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add lemon pulp for its bright, tart flavor and aroma, and its natural acidity. It is commonly used in baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, frozen desserts, beverages such as sodas, and fruit preparations to enhance taste and provide a fresh, citrusy note.

Health notes

Lemon pulp is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a natural source of vitamin C and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lemon products, and EFSA has assessed citric acid, a component of lemon pulp. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

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