Organic Coffee Fruit Extract

Organic coffee fruit extract comes from the fruit of the coffee plant, also known as the coffee cherry. The pulp and skin of the coffee cherry are typically discarded during coffee bean processing. This extract is made by processing the fruit to isolate its beneficial compounds.

Manufacturers add organic coffee fruit extract for its antioxidant properties and potential health benefits. It is often found in energy bars, powdered drinks, and other functional foods and beverages where consumers seek added nutritional value.

Organic coffee fruit extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Research suggests it contains antioxidants that may support overall health. International bodies like EFSA have not specifically evaluated this extract, and JECFA has not set a numeric limit. Evidence on specific health benefits is still developing.
