Lemon Essence Oil Citrus limon (L.) Burm. F.

Essences can be collected from fresh juice in a number of ways, including partial distillation prior to juice evaporation or by condensation of volatiles from the early stages of evaporation.  De-oiling juice is important as the acid pH causes chemical degradation of the terpenes leading to off-flavours.  Two phases, namely aqueous and oil, are obtained during recovery.  The composition of essence oils is similar to that of peel oils but the essence oils usually contain a larger amount of aliphatic ethyl esters.  Thus, their aroma resembles that of a particular juice more than that of peel oils.

Orange Essence Oil Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck

Essences can be collected from fresh juice in a number of ways including partial distillation prior to juice evaporation or by condensation of volatiles from the early stages of evaporation.  De-oiling juice is important as the acid pH causes chemical degradation of the terpenes, which leads to off-flavours.  Two phases, namely aqueous and oil, are obtained during recovery.  Essence oil phase is generally used in the beverage and fragrance industry.  The composition of essence oils is similar to that of peel oils but the essence oils usually contain a larger amount of aliphatic ethyl esters.  Thus, their aroma resembles that of a particular juice more than that of peel oils.

Tea Tree Oil Melaleuca alternifolia

In the aboriginal history of Australia, the leaves of Melaleuca were used as a herbal tea, which has given the common name tea tree oil to the Melaleuca alternifolia.  The oil is produced by water or steam distillation of the leaves and twigs.  Two main origins are traded in large volumes; China and Australia.  The total production can vary wildly from year to year as the plants are prone to suffer from drought conditions or the fields are subject to floodings, especially in Australia.  The market price is therefore quite volatile.
