Natural Grapefruit Extract

Natural Grapefruit Extract is derived from the peel and pulp of grapefruits. It is produced by extracting the natural compounds from the fruit, often using solvents or pressing methods, to capture its characteristic flavor and aroma.

Manufacturers add natural grapefruit extract to provide a bright, citrusy flavor and aroma to a variety of food and beverage products. It is commonly found in flavored waters, teas, alcoholic beverages, and confectionery.

Natural grapefruit extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily used for flavoring purposes at very low concentrations. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many natural flavoring substances. While grapefruit itself can interact with certain medications, this is not typically a concern with the small amounts used as a flavoring extract in food.
