What it is
Prune juice is the liquid extracted from dried plums (prunes). The plums are typically washed, pitted, and then pressed or macerated to release their juice, which may then be concentrated and reconstituted or pasteurized for shelf stability.
Why it's used
Prune juice is primarily used as a flavoring agent and a source of natural sweetness in food products. It is commonly found in beverages, particularly fruit juices and nectars, but also appears in processed meats like jerky and sausages, and occasionally in baked goods or snack bars.
Health notes
Prune juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber and sorbitol, which can have a laxative effect for some individuals. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated prune juice and its components. Evidence suggests potential benefits for digestive health due to its fiber and sorbitol content, but high intake may cause digestive discomfort.
Allergen info
Prune juice is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
