The lemon tree is a small, thorny, evergreen tree native to India. It is now cultivated in South America, Florida and California and southern Europe.

The high terpene content in citrus oils can limit their application in water-based food and beverage consumer products. Partial or full deterpenation of the oil results in improved solubility and varying odour profiles depending on both the method and extent to which it is carried out.

The expressed oil is mixed with food grade solvents (often ethanol and water) to extract the flavouring components away from the terpene hydrocarbons. Up to half of the oxygenated flavour components are left behind in the 'washed' oil making it an excellent flavour base.

Monoterpene hydrocarbons, typically referred to as 'terpenes', are generally removed by high vacuum fractional distillation of the essential oil (although a number of other processes exist). Terpenes often find a use as commercially competitive fragrance ingredients.

A keto acid with the molecular formula C5H8O3, it is found in nature and has a sweet, creamy, acidic, buttery, guaiacol-like odour.
Synthetic | DMA Code: 800156 | CAS Number: 123-76-2 | FEMA Number: 2627
Typically used to add a juicy character to flavours, this oil recovered through the decanting of the condensed water obtained during the concentration of Mexican lime juice.
EU Natural | DMA Code: 800369 | CAS Number: 90063-52-8 | FEMA Number: 2631
The screw-pressing of the fruit produces a juice-essential oil emulsion. The emulsion is then steam distilled and the oil separated from the condensate by decantation. The drastic thermal treatment in the highly acidic lime juice leads to changes in the essential oil. However these changes are appareciated for some applications and furthermore, having undergone drastic acid-thermal action, the oil is extremely stable in acid applications.
EU Natural | DMA Code: 800362 | CAS Number: 90063-52-8 | FEMA Number: 2631
The screw-pressing of the fruit produces a juice-essential oil emulsion. After the juice is largely separated from the settled oil layer, still steam-distillation of the remaining juice-oil emulsion takes place. This results in changes to the essential oil that are similar to the changes induced by thermal treatment in highly acidic conditions.

The high terpene content in citrus oils can limit their application in water-based food and beverage consumer products. Partial or full deterpenation of the oil results in improved solubility and varying odour profiles depending on both the method and extent to which it is carried out.

Persian limes are the larger of the two commercially grown varieties. They grow on almost thornless trees and are seedless and similar in size and shape to lemons. Although there is a small production in Florida, the bulk of Persian limes are grown in Mexico and Brazil, where they are called Tahiti limes. The oil is usually expressed using FMC type extractors, although in Mexico rasping equipment is not uncommon.

A terpene alcohol with the molecular formula C10H18O, it is found in nature and has a citrus, floral, sweet, rose-like odour.
Synthetic | DMA Code: 800155 | CAS Number: 78-70-6 | FEMA Number: 2635
The harvesting season of the berries of litsea cubeba trees in China takes place in a very short period of time (three weeks during August-September). The trees are grown in mountainous regions and poor weather conditions can sometimes greatly affect the harvest. The oil is a major source of citral with a content of around 85%.
EU Natural | DMA Code: 800378 | CAS Number: 90063-59-5 | FEMA Number: 3846
An organic compound with the molecular formula C3H6O3, it is found in nature and has a sweet, caramel, jam, candy-like odour.

In contrast with tangerine, mandarin oil has an amine-type topnote. Although sweet, its odour is not as fresh or refreshing as other citrus oils. Its application in flavourings is mainly as a modifier for citrus beverage compositions, such as orange and bitter orange.
EU Natural | DMA Code: 800380 | CAS Number: 84929-38-4 | FEMA Number: 2657
The starting material, mandarin petitgrain oil, is steam distilled from the fresh leaves and twigs. Sometimes whole, small, raw fruit or peel of raw fruit is added. Petitgrain oils with markedly varying levels of methyl N-methylanthranilate have been reported in the literature. The petitgrain oil is fractionated under vacuum to min. 98% dimethyl anthranilate and is most commonly used in natural grape flavours. Unlike methyl anthranilate, it will not form Schiff bases with aldehydes and is less likely to discolour.
EU Natural | DMA Code: 800383 | CAS Number: 85-91-6 | FEMA Number: 2854
An alkyl lactone with the molecular formula C10H16O2, it is found in nature and has a creamy, milky, waxy, coconut-like odour.
