Description

Sweet orange peel oil (CAS 8008-57-9 ), also known as orange essential oil, is cold-pressed or distilled from the peel of Citrus sinensis and is one of the most commercially traded citrus oils globally. It delivers a bright, characteristic orange flavor and fragrance profile that drives demand across food, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors. In food and beverage manufacturing, it functions as a natural flavoring. It is used in confectionery, baked goods, soft drinks, and dairy products, where it is referenced by FEMA 2824 in flavor compliance documentation. Personal care formulators incorporate it into perfumes and body washes. It is also used in skincare products as a fragrance component and carrier for other actives. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it to mask unpleasant tastes in oral formulations and syrups for patient compliance. Its high limonene content also makes it effective as a bio-based solvent and degreasing agent in industrial cleaners and surface treatment products. Sweet orange peel oil is supplied as a mobile amber-to-yellow liquid. It is available in drum, IBC, and bulk quantities for various industrial needs. It is available in food-grade specifications meeting FCC standards, as well as BP and Ph.Eur. grades for pharmaceutical applications. Folded grades (5x, 10x) with reduced terpene content are also commercially available for applications requiring improved solubility and stability in emulsions. These concentrated forms are ideal for specific formulations. Contact us for supply of Sweet orange peel oil Request Quote
