Tangelo oil

Tangelo oil (CAS 72869-73-9), also marketed under the botanical designation Citrus reticulata, is a cold-pressed citrus essential oil derived from the peel of the tangelo fruit. It delivers a bright, sweet-citrus aromatic profile that drives commercial demand across flavoring and fragrance applications.

In food and beverage manufacturing, this oil is used to flavor carbonated drinks, confectionery, and citrus-forward baked goods. It provides a distinctive mandarin-grapefruit character that is often preferred over standard orange or lemon notes in premium formulations.

Fragrance compounders incorporate it into fine perfumery, room sprays, and candle formulations to achieve fresh, zesty top notes. Personal care manufacturers use it in shampoos, body washes, and skin lotions as a natural citrus scent component for consumer products.

Its aromatic profile also suits functional beverage blends and flavored water applications where clean-label natural citrus flavoring is a requirement. The oil is supplied as a mobile, amber-to-yellow liquid in packaging ranging from small drums to bulk quantities.

Industrial procurement options include FCC food-grade and cosmetic-grade designations, which are the standard commercial specifications available from essential oil suppliers. These standards ensure the product meets rigorous safety and purity benchmarks.

Natural and organic-certified variants are available for formulators targeting clean-label or certified organic end products. This versatility makes it a staple ingredient for manufacturers looking to enhance the sensory profile of their diverse product lines.
