What it is

Organic lemon oil is a natural oil extracted from the peel of organic lemons. The extraction process typically involves cold-pressing the lemon peels to release the aromatic oils, which are then separated from the water and pulp. It is valued for its intense, fresh lemon aroma and flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic lemon oil primarily as a flavoring agent to impart a bright, citrus taste to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, dairy products, dressings, marinades, and savory dishes where a natural lemon essence is desired.

Health notes

Organic lemon oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated lemon oil and its components. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Research on limonene, a major component of lemon oil, suggests potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, though more human studies are needed.

Allergen info

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