Description
Sweet Orange Oil (CAS 8028-48-6, EC 232-433-8) is a cold-pressed citrus extract derived from the peel of Citrus sinensis, commercially identified under FEMA 2822, 2825, and 2826. It is registered under REACH and traded under the common names Orange Oil and Sweet Orange Oil.
In food and beverage manufacturing, it delivers citrus flavour through its high limonene content, functioning as a direct flavouring agent in confectionery, beverages, and dairy applications. In industrial cleaning formulations, limonene acts as a hydrocarbon-soluble degreaser, displacing oils and residues from surfaces without the regulatory burden of chlorinated solvents.
Sweet Orange Oil is available in food-grade and technical-grade forms, with food applications supported by FCC compliance and FEMA-listed status. It falls under REACH registration requirements for EU supply. Packaging typically ranges from small drums to IBC containers depending on application volume and grade specification.
