Grapefruit oil

Grapefruit oil (CAS 8016-20-4), also known by FEMA 2530, is a cold-pressed citrus essential oil derived from the peel of Citrus paradisi. It delivers a sharp, fresh citrus character that drives demand across both flavoring and fragrance applications.

Procurement buyers source it primarily for its natural origin positioning and distinctive scent-flavor profile. In food and beverage manufacturing, it functions as a natural flavoring agent in soft drinks and confectionery.

It is ideal for citrus-forward flavor blends where authentic grapefruit character is required. Personal care formulators incorporate it into perfumes, body washes, and skincare products to provide top-note citrus fragrance.

The oil offers significant natural ingredient appeal for modern consumer brands. Household and industrial cleaning products use it as a functional fragrance component, where the citrus note supports a fresh, clean sensory perception.

Flavor houses also blend it into compound flavors targeting beverage concentrates and functional drink formulations. Grapefruit oil is supplied as a pale yellow to yellow mobile liquid for industrial use.

The product is available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications to meet diverse needs. Cold-pressed grades are the market standard, with quality benchmarked against FEMA 2530 compliance and natural flavor regulations.

Packaging typically ranges from small drums to bulk containers depending on volume requirements. This ensures that the material remains stable and maintains its aromatic profile during transport and storage.
