Orange pulp

Orange pulp is the fleshy material found within an orange fruit. It is typically obtained by processing whole oranges, often involving pressing or squeezing to extract the juice and pulp, which may then be sieved to achieve a desired texture.

Orange pulp is primarily used to enhance the natural flavour and texture of food and drink products. It is commonly found in beverages like orange juices, squashes, and some sodas, where it provides a more authentic fruit experience with 'bits'. It can also be used in confectionery and desserts to add a fruity note and visual appeal.

Orange pulp is a natural component of fruit and is not considered a food additive. As a source of fibre, vitamin C, and other nutrients, it contributes positively to the diet. Regulatory bodies have not set specific limits for its consumption as it is a whole food ingredient. There are no widespread controversies regarding its consumption at typical dietary levels.
