Mandarin Juice

Mandarin juice is the liquid extracted from mandarin oranges, a small, sweet citrus fruit. It is typically made by pressing or squeezing the fruit to release its juice, which is then often filtered to remove pulp and seeds.

Mandarin juice is primarily used to add a sweet, tangy citrus flavor to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in fruit juices, nectars, flavored waters, sorbets, jams, and jellies, where it contributes both taste and a natural fruit component.

Mandarin juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and other nutrients found in oranges. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated mandarin juice and related citrus products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming mandarin juice in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet.
