Pear And Apple Juice From Concentrate

This ingredient is made from the juice of pears and apples that has been concentrated. To make it, water is removed from the juice, making it more concentrated and easier to transport. When used in a product, water is added back to reconstitute the juice.

Manufacturers use pear and apple juice from concentrate primarily as a sweetener and flavor enhancer in beverages like juice cocktails and fruit punches. It can also contribute to the liquid base and texture of these drinks. It is commonly found in fruit-flavored drinks and juice blends.

Pear and apple juice from concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, and like other fruit juices, excessive consumption can contribute to high sugar intake. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated fruit juices and their components. No specific health concerns are associated with its typical use in processed foods.
