Lemon oil
Lemon oil is a natural ingredient derived from the peel of lemons. It is extracted from the outer part of the lemon rind, which contains the fruit's signature citrus scent and flavour. Lemon oil is commonly used in cooking and baking to add a zesty and refreshing taste to dishes.
To make lemon oil, the lemon peels are cold-pressed or steam distilled to extract the essential oils. This process involves carefully pressing or heating the peels to release the aromatic oils, which are then collected and bottled for use in various food products. The result is a highly concentrated oil that retains the bright and tangy essence of fresh lemons.
Lemon oil is a popular ingredient in a wide range of food products due to its versatile flavour profile. It is often used in salad dressings, marinades, baked goods, and desserts to enhance the taste with a citrusy kick. Lemon oil can also be found in beverages, sauces, and confectionery items, adding a hint of zestiness and vibrancy to the overall flavour. Its presence on food labels indicates the use of natural lemon essence to elevate the taste and aroma of the product.
