All Natural Oil Of Orange

Oil of orange is a flavoring derived from the peel of oranges. It is extracted through steam distillation or cold pressing of the orange peel, capturing the volatile aromatic compounds that give oranges their characteristic scent and taste.

Manufacturers add oil of orange to provide a natural citrus flavor and aroma. It is commonly found in baked goods, candies, beverages, and snacks like popcorn, nuts, and seeds, where it enhances the overall taste profile.

Oil of orange is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. It is a natural component of oranges and is consumed in small amounts as part of food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for oil of orange are not widely publicized. No significant health concerns are associated with its typical consumption levels.
