What it is
Natural orange oil is an essential oil extracted from the peel of oranges. It is produced by cold-pressing the orange peels to release the oil, which contains many of the volatile aromatic compounds that give oranges their characteristic scent and flavor. The oil is then typically filtered to remove any solid particles.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add natural orange oil primarily as a flavoring agent to impart a fresh, citrus taste to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods such as cakes, cupcakes, muffins, and pastries, as well as in some breads and croissants.
Health notes
In the U.S., natural orange oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated flavoring substances, but specific numeric limits are not always set. At typical consumption levels in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Natural orange oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
