Description of Lemon Oil Washed

Unlike other lemon oils, Lemon Oil Washed is specifically produced for the preparation of citrus oils within clear-colored beverages. This process is known as “washing” and is fairly common for flavor applications. Due to the removal of some aldehydes, lemon oil washed accentuates the piney freshness found within lemon’s top note, rather than the citral sweetness more typically associated with the fruit. For compositions designed to present a more rounded citrus character, rather than the corresponding terpenes found within most fruits, lemon oil washed is a practical choice. The product is functionally identical to lemon oil.
