Pear Puree Concentrate

Pear puree concentrate is made from pears that have been processed to remove most of their water content. This results in a concentrated form of pear that retains much of the fruit's natural flavor and sweetness. It is often produced through evaporation or other dehydration methods.

Manufacturers use pear puree concentrate to add natural fruit flavor, sweetness, and texture to a variety of products. It can act as a binder or provide moisture in baked goods, snacks, and processed fruit items. It is commonly found in fruit snacks, bars, and some baked goods.

Pear puree concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars and fiber from the fruit. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated pear and pear products, generally considering them safe for consumption. No significant health controversies are associated with its typical use in food.
