BITTER ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL

Citrus aurantium is native to South East Asia. An extensive belt ranging across South Sea Islands such as Fiji, Samoa, etc are having the popular growing fields of this plant. The peel of the plant is dried, crushed and mixed with grain alcohol. This mixture is kept covered in a jar or bottle from some days and then strained to get the essential oil. It is one of the popular processes apart from the cold pressing of rind to get the essential oil from this plant. Bitter orange Essential Oil has a distinct flavor and it is, thus, used as flavoring agent in soft drinks, citrus drinks and some candies and condiments. This oil with yellowish orange to greenish orange tinge is thin in consistency and its initial aroma is of medium strength. Storage for long is not advised as time can rob this essential off its strength and aroma. Constituents like limonene and myrcene add to its healing properties. We use only the highest quality Essential oil with absolutely no additives or fillers. SVA ORG
