Peach And Pear Juice Concentrates

Peach and pear juice concentrates are made by removing water from peach and pear juices. This process intensifies the natural fruit flavors and colors. The resulting product is a thick liquid or solid that is easier to store and transport than regular juice.

Manufacturers use peach and pear juice concentrates primarily as a natural flavoring and coloring agent. They add a fruity taste and visual appeal to foods. These concentrates are often found in baked goods like waffles and pancakes, as well as in frozen desserts and beverages.

Peach and pear juice concentrates are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of natural sugars and contribute to the overall carbohydrate content of foods. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fruit-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these concentrates at typical dietary levels.
