What it is

Vegetable concentrate is a liquid or powder made by extracting flavor, color, or nutrients from vegetables. The process typically involves concentrating the vegetable's essence, often through methods like evaporation or pressing, to create a more potent form.

Why it's used

Health notes

Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'vegetable concentrate' as a broad category may vary. At typical consumption levels, they are considered safe and contribute to nutrient intake. There are no widespread controversies regarding their use in food.
