petitgrain oil paraguay

Petitgrain oil Paraguay is an essential oil extracted from the leaves and green twigs of Citrus aurantium, commonly known as bitter orange. It presents as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a fresh, herbal, and floral aroma profile. Synonyms include citrus aurantium leaf oil Paraguay and petitgrain Paraguay essential oil. This oil is classified under essential oils and is documented with identifiers such as CAS number 8014-17-3, and is known for contributing green, citrus, and woody notes in perfumery. It is typically sourced by steam distillation from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree indigenous to Paraguay and surrounding regions. Detailed compound data can be referenced via PubChem.

Petitgrain oil naturally occurs from the leaves and twigs of Citrus aurantium trees. This oil is widely used as a flavoring and fragrance agent, especially in perfumery to impart fresh, herbal, and floral notes reminiscent of orange blossoms. It finds application in colognes, soaps, lotions, and other personal care products. It pairs well with notes such as bergamot, jasmine, sandalwood, and amber in complex fragrance structures. The oil is recognized within the FEMA (US) registry under number 2855 for flavor and fragrance uses. Its use is compliant with IFRA (Global) standards, which regulate concentrations to avoid sensitization.

Petitgrain oil Paraguay has a specific gravity ranging approximately from 0.878 to 0.889 measured at 25°C, and a refractive index of 1.45 to 1.46 at 20°C, indicators relevant for quality control and formulation. The oil is combustible with a flash point around 67°C (152°F). It is moderately soluble in alcohol and fixed oils, is slightly soluble in paraffin oil, and negligibly soluble in water at ambient temperature. Shelf life extends to at least 24 months when stored in sealed containers away from heat and light. The oil remains stable without discoloration in various cosmetic bases including creams, shampoos, and lotions, which is essential for maintaining product consistency.

IFRA fragrance material specification:
	Linalool and natural products known to be rich in linalool, such as bois de rose, coriander or ho wood oil, should only be used when the level of peroxides is kept to the lowest practical level. It is recommended to add antioxidants at the time of production of the raw material. The addition of 0.1% BHT or alpha-tocopherol for example has shown great efficiency. The maximum peroxide level for products in use should be 20 mmol/l.

	Notes:
IFRA FLAVOR REQUIREMENTS:
Due to the possible ingestion of small amounts of fragrance ingredients from their use in products in Categories 1 and 6, materials must not only comply with IFRA Standards but must also be recognized as safe as a flavoring ingredient as defined by the IOFI Code of Practice (www.iofi.org). For more details see chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards.
Use levels for FEMA GRAS flavoring substances on which the FEMA Expert Panel based its judgments that the substances are generally recognized as safe (GRAS).
The Expert Panel also publishes separate extensive reviews of scientific information on all FEMA GRAS flavoring substances and can be found at FEMA Flavor Ingredient Library
