INTRODUCTION TO SWEET ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL
Orange is a citrus fruit, belonging to the Rutaceae family, hybridized from pomelo (Citrus maxima) and mandarin (Citrus reticulata). Oranges are divided into two main groups: sweet oranges and bitter oranges. Particularly, the variety of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) is commonly cultivated, accounting for 70% of the citrus market. The essential oil of oranges is contained in numerous oil sacs located in the outer peel of the fruit.

Orange trees are widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions. Sweet oranges originate from areas including Southern China, Northeast India, and Myanmar. In countries such as Spain, Italy, the United States, and Brazil, where there is extensive cultivation of citrus fruits and the juice industry is developed, orange peels are utilized as by-products for essential oil extraction. Therefore, essential oils extracted from 100% orange peels using cold-press technology in these countries are cost-effective, and modern technology ensures stable oil quality.

Compared to other production methods, cold-pressed orange oil maintains the original color and scent of the raw material. Simultaneously, the entire process is conducted under low-temperature conditions, preserving heat-sensitive compounds and resulting in higher yields of active ingredients. The primary components of orange oil are mainly Limonene (85-95%) and Myrcene (0.5-3%)....
THE USES OF SWEET ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL
Orange essential oil has good antibacterial and antifungal properties.
The body care industry uses orange essential oil for massage, stress reduction, and therapy, which is gaining increasing attention, especially in advanced countries like Germany, France, the United States, and Italy.
A study conducted in 2012 evaluated the impact of orange essential oil on E. coli bacteria strains causing food poisoning in beef. The results showed that after 24 hours, 1% concentration of orange essential oil was able to inhibit the growth of these pathogenic bacteria. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, sweet orange essential oil helps improve the damage caused by acne through reducing inflammation and inhibiting bacterial growth.
Another study conducted in 2012 assessed the effects of orange essential oil on Staphylococcus aureus bacteria strains. The results showed that when added to infected human cells in a culture medium, low concentrations of orange essential oil would kill bacteria without causing any harm to the cells. Therefore, the demand for using sweet orange essential oil in the pharmaceutical industry, acne treatment, and skincare products is increasing.
Orange essential oil has antioxidant and anticancer properties, and it can be used in disease treatment.
Scientific research has shown that orange essential oil inhibits the proliferation of lung and prostate cancer cells in humans.
In addition, orange essential oil has been used by therapists as an aromatherapy treatment for symptoms of stress and anxiety. A study by Mehdi Jafarzadeh conducted in 2011 on 30 children undergoing dental treatment showed that aromatherapy with orange essential oil reduced heart rate and cortisol hormone levels, which are associated with stress, in children.

The body care industry uses orange essential oil for massage and stress reduction, and its therapeutic benefits are increasingly gaining attention, especially in advanced countries like Germany, France, the United States, and Italy.
Orange essential oil has cleansing and purifying effects.
The main chemical component of sweet orange essential oil is Limonene, which is a Monoterpene (Monoterpenes are volatile liquids and the main components of many fragrant essential oils derived from flowers, leaves, and fruits). Limonene is known for its cleansing properties when used as a skin or surface cleanser. Therefore, orange essential oil is widely used in the production of soap, floor cleaners, degreasers, and odor eliminators. Cleaning agents derived from orange essential oil are effective, environmentally friendly, and less harmful than products derived from petroleum, while also providing a pleasant fragrance.
Orange essential oil is a natural fragrance.
With its fresh and uplifting aroma, orange essential oil is used in food and beverages to enhance flavor and add color to products such as soft drinks and confectionery. Additionally, orange essential oil serves as a natural preservative, gradually replacing chemically derived preservatives.
