Citrus Extract

Citrus Extract (CAS 94266-47-4), also identified under FEMA 2318, is a concentrated botanical extract derived from citrus fruit sources used across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It delivers characteristic citrus flavor, fragrance, and natural antioxidant activity to finished formulations. In food and beverage production, it functions as a natural flavoring agent in beverages and confectionery.

It is also used in baked goods and dairy products where authentic citrus character is required. Personal care formulators incorporate it into skincare, haircare, and fragrance products as both a scent contributor. It acts as a stabilizing antioxidant that helps protect formulation integrity. In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, it serves as a carrier or solvent component in oral formulations and tinctures.

It is also utilized in functional supplements and flavor systems where a natural-label citrus note is preferred over synthetic alternatives. Citrus Extract is typically supplied as a liquid or oil-phase extract. Concentration and solvent base vary by supplier and intended application. Food-grade material conforming to FEMA 2318 status is the most commonly traded specification for flavoring applications.

Cosmetic and pharmaceutical grades are also available, with documentation requirements varying by market and regulatory jurisdiction. This ensures compliance with global safety and quality standards for industrial use.
