What it is
Natural lemon oils are extracted from the peel of lemons. They are made by cold-pressing the lemon peel to release the essential oils, which contain many of the lemon's characteristic flavor and aroma compounds.
Why it's used
These oils are used to add a bright, citrusy flavor and scent to a wide variety of foods and beverages. They are commonly found in drinks like sodas and lemonade, as well as in baked goods, candies, and dairy products.
Health notes
Natural lemon oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated flavorings. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns from their use in food.
Allergen info
