What it is
Lemon essential oil is a concentrated oil extracted from the peel of lemons. It is produced by cold-pressing the lemon peel to release the aromatic oils. This process captures the fresh, citrusy scent and flavor of the fruit.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add lemon essential oil to provide a strong, natural lemon flavor and aroma. It is often used in baked goods like cookies and cakes, as well as in confectionery, beverages, and dairy products such as ice cream. Its intense flavor allows for a small amount to impart a significant lemon taste.
Health notes
Lemon essential oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. It is not typically evaluated by JECFA or EFSA as a standalone additive, but rather as part of natural flavorings. At the low levels used in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Research on the specific health impacts of consuming concentrated lemon essential oil is limited.
Allergen info
Lemon essential oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
