Sweet orange oil is obtained from the peel of the fruits of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck. It is a yellow to reddish-yellow liquid with the characteristic odor of orange peel and may become cloudy when chilled. Sweet orange oil is often produced in combination with orange juice (e.g., in the United States, Brazil, Israel, and Italy). 

Orange Oil, Coldpressed, occurs as an intensely yellow, orange, or deep orange liquid with the characteristic odor and taste of the outer part of fresh, sweet orange peel. It is the volatile oil obtained by expression, without the use of heat, from the fresh peel of the ripe fruit of Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck...

Several Citrus EOs contain high proportions of limonene (14) as its major component. Orange peels are used as sedative in several countries, and EOs obtained from Citrus aurantiumC. (Rutaceae) fruit peels can contain as much as 97.8% of limonene (14). The anxiolytic and sedative properties of Citrus EO suggested by traditional uses have been assessed in mice (Carvalho-Freitas and Costa, 2002 Pultrini et al., 2006) and also shown in a clinical setting (Lehrner et al., 2000). The relaxant effects observed in female patients in a dental office were produced with a Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck (Rutaceae) EO composed of 88.1% limonene (14) and 3.77% myrcene (15).

One of the most prominent MT-hydrocarbons is (+)-limonene, which occurs in nearly every EO of the citrus oils and is a major compound (up to 97 % [11]) in sweet orange oil (from the peel of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck, syn. Citrus aurantium var. sinensis). Its odor is reminiscent of the typical sweet orange flavor, whereas its antipode (-)-limonene possesses an odor that recalls turpentine [12]. Sweet orange oil achieves its main importance in the flavor and food industry because it is easily obtainable (yield 5 % [11]) and due to its pleasant odor, which is accepted by everyone and is caused by the character impact compound [13] (+)-limonene. In the past, the use of (+)-limonene has experienced a great expansion. Besides its use in the food industry, it is used as flavor and fragrance additive in cosmetics, soaps, and perfumes, and also in medicine to mask the bitter taste of...
