sweet orange peel oil folded california

Sweet orange peel oil folded california is a natural essential oil obtained primarily through the cold pressing of the peel of Citrus sinensis fruits. The oil is recognized by its characteristic fresh, sweet, and juicy citrus aroma, often described as tangy orange peel. It is commonly referred to by several synonyms including Citrus sinensis oil folded california and orange oil, cold pressed, California. This essential oil consists predominantly of citrus terpene compounds and is widely used in the flavor and fragrance industries. The Physico-chemical properties and sensory profile are documented extensively, with references available through controlled vocabularies like PubChem. Sourced from ripe sweet oranges cultivated mainly in California, this oil is a key ingredient in many formulations requiring a natural citrus note.

Sweet orange peel oil folded california naturally occurs in the peel of orange fruits, specifically from Citrus sinensis species. Its prominent citrus and tropical flavor characteristics make it a preferred choice for flavoring agents in food products, particularly in beverages, confectionery, snacks, and baked goods. In fragrance formulations, it imparts bright, fresh citrus notes suitable for perfumes, personal care products, and household items. Regulatory bodies such as FEMA (US) recognize this oil under number 2825, permitting its use as a flavor and fragrance ingredient within prescribed limits. The oil’s compatibility with alcohol but insolubility in water affects formulation strategies, influencing its selection in various industries where citrus aromas are desired.

At 25 °C, sweet orange peel oil folded california exhibits a specific gravity ranging from 0.854 to 0.865, indicating a lighter-than-water oily liquid. Its refractive index lies between 1.474 and 1.479 at 20 °C, which assists in quality control and purity assessment. The oil is soluble in alcohol, enhancing its miscibility in alcoholic beverage formulations and perfumery solvents, but it is not water-soluble. It has a flash point of 115 °F (approximately 46 °C), denoting its flammability threshold in handling and storage. Stored correctly, the oil maintains stability for at least 12 months. These properties influence its processing, storage, and compatibility in product development, ensuring efficacy and safety within its applications.
