Comparison between the chemical composition of commercial products containing orange essential oil
Natural ingredients have grown in popularity in recent years, surpassing synthetic alternatives. Among them, orange essential oil (EO) stands out as one of the most widely used essential oils (EOs) globally, primarily due to its significant health benefits. Traditionally incorporated into the human diet, orange EO is now extensively utilized in the perfumery, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulatory properties. Orange EO is mainly extracted from the peels of Citrus sinensis L. through cold pressing.
