General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Common products:
Essential oil obtained from seeds by hydrodistillation; the oil is used as a flavoring agent and in perfumery.

Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
Seed oil is employed as a food flavoring component in some regional markets.

Fragrance and cosmetics:
The seed essential oil is used in perfumery. Its fragrance profile is characterized by γ-terpinene, limonene, α-pinene, p-cymene, and related monoterpenes, with notable solvent extraction yield (e.g., petroleum ether 19.0–21.4% w/w, ethanol 12.3–16.3%, benzene 13.6–14.0%).

Properties relevant to use:
Seed oil is monoterpene-rich with relatively high levels of γ-terpinene and limonene and lower concentrations of oxygenated monoterpenes; these constituents confer a fresh, citrus-herbal aroma suitable for flavor and fragrance applications.

Standards and regulation:
No specific ISO/ASTM/EN standards for this species’ oil were identified; use in foods or cosmetics would be subject to general national safety and purity regulations where applicable.
