What it is

Orange essential oil is a natural oil extracted from the peel of oranges. It is produced by cold-pressing the rind of the fruit, which releases the volatile aromatic compounds. This process captures the fresh, citrusy scent and flavor of the orange peel.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use orange essential oil primarily as a flavoring agent to impart a bright, fruity taste to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in baked goods, candies, desserts, and drinks. It can also be used in some savory dishes to add a subtle citrus note.

Health notes

Orange essential oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated flavoring substances, and orange oil is permitted for use. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Research into the specific health effects of concentrated essential oils is ongoing, but common food use is considered safe.

Allergen info

Orange essential oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
