Orange Oil
Orange Oil accumulates naturally within the rind or peel of the ubiquitous orange citrus fruit, and is obtained by either press extraction or distillation. Cold pressing is the preferred method for pharmaceutical and food grade products. The dominant compound which makes up over 90% of the composition of Orange Oil is limonene, which is responsible for that sweet citrus scent. It is also a powerful naturally occurring solvent which lends to the many cleaning bases applications. We have methodically researched this gift of mother nature and present all the relevant information in an intuitive format. Our visitors often send us a thank you email once they begin using a bottle of the pure grade oil at home or in the office.
Composition
Botanical specification- Citrus Sinensis
Analysis by mass spectrometry reveals nearly 100 components present in Orange Oil. Limonene accounted for roughly 94%, next being myrcene at 1%. The remaining components are all present in quantities less than one percent.
As a by-product of the production of orange juice, this oil is widely available including bulk sizes offered directly to home users. There are many types of oranges including hybrid varieties used in that for the beverage industry. This results in a crop specific amount containing slightly varying percentages of each of the compounds present.

Natural Pest Control
It seems that as much as humans find Orange Oil to be a pleasant substance which smells nice, certain insects reportedly cannot stand it. An entire category of "natural" pest control has evolved around the use of Orange Oil to eliminate and protect against: ants, termites, fleas, mites, crickets, aphids, spiders and a host of other pesky insects which crawl into our personal space and annoy us at best, with the worst offenders causing costly unseen damage to homes.
