What it is

Meyer lemon juice concentrate is made from Meyer lemons, a hybrid of a lemon and either a mandarin orange or a common orange. The juice is concentrated by removing water, which intensifies its flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Meyer lemon juice concentrate to add a distinct, slightly sweeter, floral lemon flavor to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods like cakes, muffins, and pastries, as well as in salad dressings and desserts.

Health notes

JECFA has evaluated lemon juice and its concentrates, and EFSA has also assessed lemon-derived ingredients. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
