Lemon/orange Juice Concentrate Blend

This is a concentrated liquid made from the juice of lemons and oranges. The water is removed from the fruit juice through evaporation, making it more potent and easier to store and transport. It is then often blended to achieve a specific flavor profile.

Manufacturers use this blend primarily as a flavoring agent to impart a citrus taste to foods and beverages. Its concentrated form allows for a strong flavor with a smaller amount. It is commonly found in lemonades, iced teas, sodas, and other fruit-flavored drinks.

Lemon/orange juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and other nutrients naturally found in citrus fruits. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit juice concentrates. At typical consumption levels in beverages, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
