Strawberry And Cherry Juice Concentrate

Strawberry and cherry juice concentrate is made by removing water from strawberry and cherry juices. This process intensifies the natural color and flavor of the fruits. It is a concentrated form of fruit juice used to add flavor and color to foods.

Manufacturers use strawberry and cherry juice concentrate to add natural fruit flavor and color to a variety of products. It is commonly found in beverages, dairy products like yogurt and ice cream, baked goods, and confectionery. Its concentrated form allows for potent flavor and color with less volume.

Strawberry and cherry juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, vitamins, and antioxidants found in the fruits themselves. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated fruit-derived ingredients, but specific evaluations for this concentrate are not typically highlighted. At typical consumption levels, it contributes natural sugars and fruit components to the diet.
