What it is

Lemon oil is an essential oil extracted from the peel of lemons. It is made by cold-pressing the lemon peel, which releases the aromatic oils. This process captures the fresh, citrus scent and flavor of the lemon.

Why it's used

Lemon oil is used as a flavoring agent to add a bright, citrus taste to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in baked goods, candies, beverages, and savory dishes like marinades and salad dressings. Its strong aroma also makes it useful in air fresheners and cleaning products.

Health notes

In the US, lemon oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated lemon oil and its components. While generally considered safe in typical food amounts, some individuals may experience skin irritation from undiluted lemon oil. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at the levels found in food.

Allergen info

Lemon oil is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
