What it is
Yumberry juice concentrate is made from the fruit of the yumberry tree, also known as the Chinese bayberry or waxberry. The fruit is typically processed by pressing to extract the juice, which is then concentrated by removing water. This process intensifies the flavor and color of the fruit.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use yumberry juice concentrate primarily for its intense berry flavor and vibrant color. It acts as a natural coloring agent and flavor enhancer in a variety of food products. It is commonly found in fruit juices, nectars, desserts, and frozen treats.
Health notes
Yumberry juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of antioxidants, like anthocyanins, which are compounds found in many fruits and vegetables. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated yumberry and its components. Evidence on specific health benefits from typical dietary intake is still developing.
Allergen info
Yumberry juice concentrate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
