How Lime Oil from Lime Juice Is Made – Process & Unique Benefits | SanSha Naturals
At SanSha Naturals, we produce our lime oil using a specialized process: distillation directly from fresh lime juice.
Unlike cold-pressed lime oil extracted from peels, this method creates a lighter, fresher aroma that is especially prized by the food, beverage, and fragrance industries.
🌿 Step-by-Step Process:
1️⃣ Fresh Lime Juice Extraction:
We begin by carefully selecting and pressing fresh, high-quality limes to produce natural lime juice.
2️⃣ Juice Distillation:
The lime juice undergoes a controlled distillation process. Steam gently heats the juice, releasing aromatic oil vapors along with water vapor.
3️⃣ Condensation & Collection:
The vapor passes through a condenser, returning to liquid. The lime oil then naturally separates from the distilled water.
4️⃣ Filtration & Quality Testing:
Finally, the oil is filtered to remove impurities and tested to ensure consistent quality, aroma, and composition.
✅ Why Choose Lime Oil Distilled from Juice:
- Fresh, delicate aroma that is cleaner and less bitter than peel oil.
- Lower risk of phototoxic compounds often found in cold-pressed peel oils.
- Versatile applications in beverages, candies, flavorings, perfumery, and cosmetic products.
- Naturally processed without added solvents.
At SanSha Naturals, we combine careful selection, juice distillation expertise, and strict quality control to deliver lime oil that meets the needs of global B2B buyers.
