About
Pink Grapefruit Food Fragrance is a cold-pressed peel oil of Citrus paradisi, diluted in fractionated coconut oil (MCT) and supplied in a 10 mL amber glass bottle with a fine-mist spray head. The odour is fresh and sharp, slightly bitter and green — the top note that sets grapefruit apart from orange.
Functional Properties
Limonene carries the essential-oil fraction at more than 80.0 %, while β-myrcene at more than 1.0 % gives the green-terpenic edge that reads as the characteristic bitterness. The very high limonene content also makes the oil a useful natural degreasing component in cleaning work.
Quality
By GC-FID area normalisation the specified constituents total above 85.0 % and identified compounds reach a minimum of 95 %. Heavy metals are not detected, and total aerobic count, yeast and mould, E. coli and Salmonella comply. A clear, colourless to pale-pink mobile liquid; shelf life 24 months. Observe the photosensitivity guidance for leave-on skin products.
Applications
- Beverages: soft drinks, tonics and flavoured waters
- Confectionery: jellies, sorbets and citrus sugar work
- Personal care fragrance: shower and body products
- Household products: cleaners using limonene's degreasing action
