【化】 mandarin oil; mandarine oil
Orange oil, known as "橘子油" (júzi yóu) in Chinese, is a concentrated essential oil extracted from the rind of citrus fruits, primarily oranges (Citrus sinensis). Its chemical composition is dominated by limonene (over 90%), a monoterpene hydrocarbon, along with smaller quantities of α-pinene, myrcene, and aldehydes . The extraction process typically employs cold-pressing or steam distillation methods to preserve volatile aromatic compounds .
As a food additive, orange oil serves dual functions as a flavor enhancer (GB 2760-2024 classification: NAT 033) and natural preservative due to its antimicrobial properties . In industrial applications, it functions as a biodegradable solvent in cleaning products and contributes terpene derivatives to cosmetic formulations through derivatization processes . The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes it as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for specific food contact applications under 21 CFR §172.510 .
Phytochemical analyses from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) confirm its antioxidant capacity via oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) testing, measuring 1,200 µmol TE/g . International standardization occurs through ISO 3140:2022 specifications for citrus oil purity parameters .
“橘子油”一词有两种不同层面的解释,需结合具体语境理解:
基本定义
橘子油是从橘子皮中提取的天然精油,主要通过冷榨、压榨或蒸馏法制取。其化学成分为壬醛、柠檬烯等,具有果香和脂蜡香气。
物理性质
用途
主要用于食用香精(如饮料、糖果)、牙膏香精及日用化妆品调香,偶尔用于烟用香精。
在特定语境中,“橘子油”被引申为形容虚伪、不真实的言行。其来源与橘子皮油的特性相关:橘子皮油香气浓烈,但橘子果肉香味较淡,故以此比喻表面美好而内在虚假的行为或言辞。
使用场景:多用于批评他人表里不一,例如“他的承诺像橘子油一样,闻着香却无实质”。
