wild sweet orange peel oil west indian

Wild sweet orange peel oil west indian is a volatile essential oil extracted from the peels of wild sweet oranges native to the West Indies. It appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a strong citrus odor reminiscent of fresh orange peel and grapefruit. The oil's flavor profile is sharply citrus with characteristic orange peel notes. Key synonyms include oil wild sweet orange west indian and sweet orange peel oil wild west indian. This oil is widely used in flavor and fragrance industries due to its fresh, zesty aroma. Its chemical constituents typically include limonene and other terpenes responsible for its scent and solubility traits. Detailed chemical data can be found through controlled-vocabulary resources such as PubChem. The oil is generally sourced via steam distillation of orange peels from wild Citrus sinensis varieties grown in the West Indies region.

Wild sweet orange peel oil west indian naturally occurs as an extract from the rind of Citrus sinensis grown in the West Indies. It predominantly contains monoterpenes such as d-limonene, which contribute to its characteristic citrus fragrance. The oil is extensively utilized as a flavoring and fragrance agent in various consumer products, including perfumes, personal care items, and food flavorings. Its fresh citrus and grapefruit notes make it suitable for imparting brightness and zest. Regulatory frameworks such as the IFRA (Global) Code of Practice guide its use, especially in fragrance applications, ensuring that peroxide levels are controlled to minimize oxidation-related issues. Such guidance ensures product stability and safety during formulation and use.

Wild sweet orange peel oil west indian displays a specific gravity ranging from 0.844 to 0.855 at 25°C and refractive index values between 1.47 and 1.48 measured at 20°C. These parameters influence its behavior in formulations, affecting dilution and miscibility characteristics. The oil's flash point is approximately 49°C (120°F), indicating moderate volatility and flammability considerations for handling and storage. Solubility varies depending on the solvent; it is soluble in alcohol and paraffin oil but insoluble in water and propylene glycol. These properties are important for formulators to consider when incorporating the oil into cosmetic, flavor, or fragrance systems to ensure product stability, aroma efficacy, and safe use.

IFRA Code of Practice Notification of the 49th Amendment to the IFRA Code of Practice
IFRA fragrance material specification:
	d-, l-and dl-Limonene and natural products containing substantial amounts of it, should only be used when the level of peroxides is kept to the lowest practical level, for instance by adding antioxidants at the time of production. Such products should have a peroxide value of less than 20 millimoles peroxides per liter, determined according to the FMA method, which can be downloaded from the IFRA website (see Analytical Methods).
