Description

Orange sweet extract (CAS 8028-48-6), also known commercially as orange terpene, is a naturally derived citrus extract obtained from the peel of sweet oranges. With FEMA 2826 designation, it functions as a flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient. This versatile extract also serves as a bio-based solvent across food, personal care, and industrial markets. In food and beverage manufacturing, it delivers authentic citrus flavor to confectionery, beverages, and baked goods.

Industrial cleaning and degreasing formulations use it as a renewable solvent to remove oils, adhesives, and inks from surfaces. It serves as a direct substitute for petroleum-based solvents in printing and packaging operations. In personal care, it contributes fragrance to lotions, shampoos, and soaps while acting as a carrier for other active ingredients. Adhesive and coating formulators incorporate it as a solvent and diluent for various applications.

Low toxicity and a favorable environmental profile make this extract a priority for modern procurement. Orange sweet extract is supplied as a pale yellow to orange mobile liquid for diverse manufacturing needs. It is available in food-grade quality aligned with FEMA standards, as well as technical grade for industrial solvent and cleaning applications. This ensures compliance across different regulatory landscapes.

Standard packaging ranges from drums to bulk IBC containers depending on volume requirements. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality and availability for large-scale industrial and food production facilities.
