Red Plum Juice Concentrate

Red plum juice concentrate is made by removing water from red plum juice. This process intensifies the natural color and flavor of the plums. It is used as a natural ingredient in various food products.

Manufacturers use red plum juice concentrate primarily for its natural coloring properties, adding a reddish-purple hue to foods and beverages. It also contributes a fruity flavor. It is commonly found in fruit juices, nectars, and drink blends.

Red plum juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars and antioxidants found in plums. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit concentrates, but specific evaluations for red plum juice concentrate may vary. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods containing red plum juice concentrate at typical levels.
