What it is
Powdered fruit juice is made by removing water from fruit juice. This is typically done through spray drying or freeze-drying, which concentrates the natural sugars, acids, and flavor compounds of the fruit.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use powdered fruit juice to add natural fruit flavor and color to foods without adding significant moisture. It is commonly found in baked goods like muffins and cookies, as well as in snack items and some beverages.
Health notes
In the U.S., powdered fruit juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of natural sugars and acids. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various fruit-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Powdered fruit juice is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
