Additional data

  • Storage conditions: Store in cool and dry place, keep away from intense light and high heat.
  • Carrier: Fractionated coconut oil (caprylic/capric triglyceride, MCT).
  • Packaging: 10 mL amber glass bottle with food-grade fine-mist spray head; also supplied by the kilogram (1–5 kg/bottle, 10–25–50 kg/drum).
  • Shelf life: 24 months
  • Dosage and use: Grapefruit gives a bitter-fresh citrus top note that distinguishes it from orange, and is used in beverage and confectionery flavouring as well as in household and personal-care fragrance for a clean, energising effect. The very high limonene content also makes it a useful natural degreasing component. As with all expressed citrus peel oils, observe the photosensitivity guidance applicable to leave-on skin products. Compositional figures in the Extract Specification and the chromatographic profile refer to the essential-oil fraction of the product, determined by GC-FID area normalisation; the carrier is stated separately above.
