What it is

Orange oils are essential oils extracted from the peel of oranges. They are produced by cold-pressing the peel or by steam distillation. These oils contain aromatic compounds that give oranges their characteristic scent and flavor.

Why it's used

Orange oils are primarily used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of foods and beverages. They add a natural citrus taste to products like sodas, baked goods, candies, jams, and alcoholic drinks. They can also be used in marinades and sauces.

Health notes

In the US, orange oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated orange oils and related compounds. At typical consumption levels found in food, they are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Orange oils are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
