Strawberry Juice Concentrate

Strawberry juice concentrate is made by removing water from strawberry juice. This process intensifies the natural flavor and color of the strawberries. It is used to add a concentrated strawberry taste and aroma to various food products.

Manufacturers use strawberry juice concentrate to provide a strong strawberry flavor and color in foods. It is commonly found in fruit juices, nectars, fruit drinks, candies, and some processed cereal products.

Strawberry juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a natural source of vitamins and antioxidants found in strawberries. International bodies like JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) have evaluated fruit concentrates. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
