Hand- or machine-pressed lime oil is a yellowish green, olive-green or dark green mobile liquid of intensely fresh, rich and sweet, peel-like odor, perhaps more lemon-like than the odor of distilled lime oil, but also mellower and somewhat perfumey.
The odor of expressed lime oil is intensely fresh, rich and sweet, peel-like, perhaps more lemon-like than the odor of distilled lime oil, but also mellower and somewhat perfumey.
Expressed lime oil has the typical peel flavor and an excellent masking effect on protein- or garlic-like food odors.
In perfumes, the expressed oil is generally preferred. It gives interesting modifications to neroli in cologne bases, chypre bases, etc., and lends a delightful topnote to modern aldehydic perfumes. It blends well with all other citrus oils, citronella oil and its derivatives, lavender, lavandin, rosemary, sage clary, etc.
Expressed lime oil blends particularly well with lemon oil in flavor compositions. The combination of the two flavors has become one of the most popular flavors in carbonated beverages and sherbet ice, hard candy, etc.
