What it is

Mandarin juice concentrate is made from the juice of mandarins, a type of citrus fruit. The juice is processed to remove most of its water content, resulting in a concentrated liquid or paste. This process intensifies the flavor and aroma of the mandarin.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use mandarin juice concentrate to add a natural citrus flavor and sweetness to a variety of products. It is commonly found in beverages like juices, sodas, and sparkling drinks, as well as in sauces, marinades, and some baked goods. Its concentrated form makes it an efficient way to impart mandarin flavor.

Health notes

Mandarin 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 mandarins. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar citrus-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming mandarin juice concentrate at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Mandarin juice concentrate is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
