Product overview
Lemon Oil is a botanical aroma material evaluated for Lemon flavor and beverage systems, Citrus fragrance and household scent systems, Personal-care and oral-care formulations. Commercial selection should confirm botanical species, plant part, country of origin, extraction process, marker profile, organoleptic quality, oxidation status, allergens and destination-market requirements; a CAS number alone does not fully define an essential-oil grade.
Function & Usage
