Orange Juice Solids

Orange juice solids are a concentrated form of orange juice, made by removing water. This process intensifies the flavor and aroma of the orange. They can be produced through methods like evaporation or spray drying.

Manufacturers use orange juice solids to add a natural orange flavor and aroma to foods. They are often found in snack foods like chips and pretzels, as well as in prepared meals and baked goods where a hint of citrus is desired.

Orange juice solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a natural source of vitamin C and other nutrients found in oranges. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar concentrated fruit products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
