Orange And Lime Pulp

Orange and lime pulp consists of the juicy segments and membranes from oranges and limes. It is typically prepared by separating the fruit segments and removing seeds and rind. The pulp retains the natural juice and some of the fruit's texture.

Manufacturers add orange and lime pulp to provide natural fruit flavor and a slightly textured mouthfeel. It is often used in frozen desserts like sherbet and ice cream, as well as in beverages and fruit preparations.

Orange and lime pulp is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It contains natural sugars, vitamins, and fiber from the fruit. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated citrus components, but specific evaluations for combined pulp may vary. No significant health concerns are associated with its typical consumption in foods.
