Grapefruit extract

Natural flavouring from real grapefruit.

About

Grapefruit extract is derived from Citrus paradisi through extraction of the fruit's natural aromatic compounds — primarily monoterpenes including D-limonene, as well as the characteristic nootkatone molecule that gives grapefruit its distinctive slightly bitter, fresh quality.

In the Citrus variety of TWOZERO®, grapefruit extract contributes the subtle bitterness that prevents the overall flavour profile from being overly sweet, balancing the lemon and lime extracts to create a sophisticated, clean citrus character. For athletes who find most flavoured drinks too sweet or artificial, that balance is exactly what makes the Citrus variety easy to drink day after day.
