Mangosteen Juice Concentrate

Mangosteen juice concentrate is made from the mangosteen fruit, a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia. The juice is extracted from the fruit and then concentrated to remove water, intensifying its flavor and color.

Manufacturers use mangosteen juice concentrate primarily as a flavoring agent and for its natural color. It adds a unique, slightly tart and sweet tropical flavor to beverages like teas and sodas, as well as cereals and baked goods.

Mangosteen juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of antioxidants, though research on specific health benefits from concentrated forms in typical food amounts is ongoing. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit extracts, but specific evaluations for mangosteen juice concentrate may vary. Evidence regarding significant health impacts at typical consumption levels is limited.
