Application
Grapefruit oil (CAS 8016-20-4) is a cold-pressed essential oil obtained from the peel of Citrus × paradisi. It appears as a pale yellow to greenish-yellow liquid with a fresh, juicy, and characteristic sweet-bitter grapefruit aroma, primarily due to its high limonene content (90-95%) and key sulfur-containing compounds such as nootkatone and grapefruit mercaptan. In the flavor industry, it is widely used as a natural flavoring agent (FEMA 2537) to impart authentic citrus, tropical, and refreshing notes to beverages (soft drinks, juices, cocktails), confectionery, baked goods, dairy products (yogurt, ice cream), and savory sauces. As a fragrance ingredient, it serves as an uplifting, energizing top note in fine perfumery, colognes, soaps, shampoos, shower gels, body lotions, and household cleaners, blending harmoniously with floral, woody, and other citrus oils. Grapefruit oil also exhibits antioxidant, antimicrobial, and detoxifying properties, making it valuable in aromatherapy for stress relief, mental clarity, and immune support, as well as in skincare formulations for oily and acne-prone skin. Additionally, it functions as a natural deodorizer, insect repellent, and as a source of limonene for the synthesis of other aroma chemicals.
