lemon oil folded italy

Concentrated Lemon Oil is derived from expressed lemon oil, which naturally contains over 90% terpenes—compounds with limited flavor value and poor alcohol solubility. Through vacuum distillation, these terpenes can be reduced to create 2x, 5x, or 10x concentrates, that are preferred in flavor applications (soft drinks, sherbets), where excess terpenes can cause instability or haze. Unlike terpene-free oils, concentrated lemon oils retain fresh monoterpene notes that are essential to the authentic lemon peel aroma. Alcohol-washed 6x oils are fully soluble in alcohol. TSCA definition (2008): Extractives and physically modified derivatives of Citrus limonum.

IFRA Critical Effect:
Phototoxicity
IFRA fragrance material specification:
	Where the bergapten (5-methoxypsoralen) content of all relevant oils present in a compound has been determined, it is recommended that for applications on areas of skin exposed to sunshine, excluding bath preparations, soaps and other products which are washed off the skin, the total level of bergapten in the consumer products should not exceed 0.0015% (15 ppm). This is equivalent to 0.0075% (75 ppm) in a fragrance compound used at 20% in the consumer product. Where the level of bergapten has not been determined by appropriate methods, the limits specified in the guidelines on individual oils should apply. In those cases, where such oils are used in combination with other phototoxic ingredients, the additive effect has to be taken into consideration and the use levels have to be reduced accordingly. The sum of the concentrations of all phototoxic fragrance ingredients, expressed in % of their recommended maximum level in the consumer product, shall not exceed 100.
