Pear And Carrot Juice Concentrates

Pear and carrot juice concentrates are made by removing water from the juices of pears and carrots. This process intensifies the natural color and flavor of the fruits and vegetables, making them easier to transport and store. The concentrated form is then reconstituted by adding water back when used in food products.

Manufacturers use pear and carrot juice concentrates primarily as natural colorants and flavor enhancers in beverages, such as fruit and vegetable juices, nectars, and juice drinks. They can also contribute natural sweetness and add to the overall fruit and vegetable content of a product.

Pear and carrot juice concentrates are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are a source of natural sugars, vitamins, and minerals found in pears and carrots. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit and vegetable concentrates. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these concentrates at typical levels found in foods.
