Application
Tangerine oil (Citrus reticulata peel oil, CAS 8008-31-9) is a cold-pressed essential oil with a sweet, fresh, and tangy citrus aroma, widely used as a natural flavor and fragrance ingredient. With high limonene content (up to 95%), it serves as a flavor enhancer in candies, beverages, and baked goods (FEMA 3042) and as a top note in perfumes, colognes, soaps, and cosmetics. In personal care, it offers skin conditioning and masking benefits, while in industrial applications it acts as a biodegradable solvent and degreaser. Tangerine oil also exhibits antiseptic and mood-lifting properties. Xinchem supplies high-purity, EU/US-compliant oils with custom synthesis and contract manufacturing options.
