Vegetable And Fruit Juice Concentrate

Vegetable and fruit juice concentrate is made by removing most of the water from fruit or vegetable juice. This process intensifies the natural color, flavor, and nutrients of the original produce. It is used to add these qualities to other food products.

Manufacturers use vegetable and fruit juice concentrate to add natural color and flavor to foods and beverages. It is often found in drinks, yogurts, and baked goods where a concentrated fruit or vegetable essence is desired.

Vegetable and fruit juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants found in the original fruits and vegetables. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar concentrated fruit and vegetable products. No specific health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.
