High Quality Tangerine Oil Flavor for Food and Beverage Applications

High Quality Tangerine Oil Flavor for Food and Beverage Applications

Product Introduction

The tangerine oil flavor is centered around essential oil extracted from the peel of tangerines (especially mandarin and red mandarin varieties) through cold pressing or distillation, recreating their refreshing, fruity, and mellow characteristics. Unlike the sharpness of lemon or the richness of orange, tangerine oil's flavor is more "sweet and bright," with a prominent sweetness and a soft acidity, creating a sunny, lively aroma. It represents a citrus flavor that is both approachable and recognizable.

Core Sensory Characteristics
The appeal of tangerine oil flavor lies in its "freshness without harshness, and layered sweetness." Specifically, it is characterized by:

Aroma Core: A dominant citrus aroma with a distinct "sweet mandarin peel" flavor, blended with a light, refreshing aroma of peel (similar to the instantaneous scent of peeling a fresh tangerine), without any bitterness.

Taste Association: A gentle sweetness on the palate, accompanied by a subtle tartness (much less than that of lemon or grapefruit), followed by a subtle herbal note on the finish, creating an overall "refreshing, pleasant, and effortless" quality. Sensory memory: Often associated with "freshness, naturalness, and sunshine", it is suitable for conveying a relaxed and energetic product image, and is especially popular among children and young people.

Ingredient

d-Limonene (80%-90%): A hallmark component of mandarin oil, it imparts a refreshing citrus aroma and serves as the backbone of the flavor.
Terpenoids (such as myrcene and pinene): Enhance the complexity of the fruity aroma, adding subtle floral and herbal notes and avoiding a monotonous feel.
Oxygenated compounds, such as decanal (bright and refreshing) and linalyl acetate (soft and sweet), balance the sharpness of the citrus and enhance roundness.
Trace ingredients, such as citral and citronellal, enrich the aroma and enhance the authenticity of the "natural mandarin."

Application:
