Terpenes from folding cold pressed orange oil. Used as solvent in oil soluble flavors
For citrus fruits, both the juice and the peel serve as critical sources for natural extracts that deliver olfaction and taste experiences. Our citrus oils are the byproducts of the fresh juice industry, extracted from the zest of the fruits being processed using a cold pressed technique.
The resulting juice is filtered for the juice industry, and the oil, separated through centrifugation, is utilized by the fragrance & flavors industry.
Orange oil is extracted from the peel of the fruit using a cold process system. The peel oil composition brings multiple characteristics which are beneficial and largely used in the flavors and fragrance industry. Orange originated in China but has since spread to all parts of the world. The fruit is consumed fresh and processed to make orange juice; the peel is recovered during processing for post upcycling purposes.
