Concentrated Citrus Oils by Vacuum Distillation

The Company started by manufacturing folded citrus oils and rapidly expanded its facilities to produce the highest quality terpeneless and sesquiterpeneless oils.

The concentration of natural citrus oils removes a high percentage of the terpene hydrocarbons (insoluble components) which readily oxidise leaving a poor odour and flavour. Terpeneless and sesquiterpeneless oils are of prime importance where solubility and long shelf life are required in an end product.  Modern methods of controlled fractionation are employed and stringent process control is enforced at each stage to ensure the highest standards are maintained.
