Description
One of the most common and long-standing ingredients within the world of perfumery, Orange Terpenes are derived from the essential oils of Citrus x sinensis fruits. These terpenes are mainly used for the practical purposes of industrial cleaning, though their aroma is as fragrant as it is functional. By almost entirely removing the candy-like sweetness of orange oil’s aldehydes, orange terpenes are free to work within a much more economical space, providing a light and citrusy odor to a variety of flavor or fragrance compositions. Similar to their unfractionated counterparts, orange oil terpenes come in a variety of types, providing formulators with an option for nearly every application.
