Organic Fruit And Vegetable Juice Concentrate

This ingredient is made by removing water from fruit and vegetable juices. The resulting liquid is a concentrated form of the original juice, with a more intense flavor and color. It is often used to add natural flavor and color to foods and beverages.

Manufacturers use juice concentrates to add natural fruit or vegetable flavor, color, and sweetness to products. They are commonly found in yogurts, cheeses, beverages, and baked goods. The concentration allows for a more potent flavor profile and vibrant color compared to using the whole fruit or vegetable.

Organic fruit and vegetable juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of natural sugars and nutrients found in the original fruits and vegetables. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar concentrated fruit and vegetable products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these ingredients in typical amounts found in food.
