Description
Lemon essential oil is one of the main active ingredients of lemon, with a refreshing and pleasant odor. It has functions such as calming asthma, dispelling phlegm, relieving cough, relieving pain, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis, and digestive secretion. It is a flavor correcting agent for beverages, beer, and pastries. At the same time, it is widely used in toilet water, perfume, toothpaste, soap and other daily necessities. Therefore, lemon essential oil has a wide range of applications in industries such as food, medicine, daily chemical products, and chemicals.
Lemon oil is the essence of lemon. It is extracted from the fresh peel of lemon by advanced cold grinding technology, and its color is yellow with green. As a food additive, it can add flavor and flavor to food; As an aromatic agent, it can remove odors from cars, high-end clothing, and rooms; As a massage oil, it can refresh and refresh the mind; It can beautify, fumigate and wash the face, and dissolve color spots.
- Application in food processing
The plant essential oil is mainly used as the addition of essence and spice in food processing, playing the role of enhancing flavor; Lemon essential oil is widely used as a flavoring agent in the production of baked goods, desserts, ice cream, and soft drinks. At the same time, as an oily substance, the chemical composition of essential oil has a significant impact on the formation and stability of the emulsion water oil two-phase interface, thereby affecting the processing operations and product quality of dairy beverages and other foods. Jajia Rao studied the effects of distillation and refining times on the chemical composition of lemon oil and its formation, stability, and physicochemical properties of emulsions. He found that lemon essential oils with different purities have significant differences in chemical composition and physicochemical properties; For example, the main components of lemon essential oil obtained from single-stage distillation are monoterpenes (over 90%), while the main components of lemon essential oil obtained from multi-stage distillation are monoterpenes (35%), sesquiterpenes (14%), and oxygen-containing compounds (33%); The higher the concentration of essential oils, the more their physical and chemical properties such as density, interfacial tension, viscosity, and refractive index also increase. This research conclusion provides important information on the relationship between the chemical composition of lemon essential oils and their emulsion properties suitable for food and beverage product processing. - Application in cosmetics
Lemon essential oil has a rich and fresh fragrance and sticky water quality. It can be used in combination with lavender, rosewood, benzoin, eucalyptus, geranium, fennel, olive and other essential oils. It can clean the skin, astringe, balance oil secretion, whiten the skin, increase skin luster, and weaken freckles. It has a good reference value in the development and application of cosmetics such as face cream, skin lotion, perfume, etc. - Application in medicine
Plant essential oils have a long history in medicinal applications such as expelling wind, relieving pain, lowering blood pressure, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, anti-tumor effects, and enhancing immunity. Qin Haiyan made a solid suppository using lemon essential oil as an antibacterial active substance, and used the natural volatilization characteristics of this suppository to treat pneumonia mice. At the same time, a blank control and a protective umbrella positive control were set up to observe the survival and death of mice in each group; The experimental results showed that the average survival rates of mice in the lemon essential oil experimental group and the protective umbrella positive control group blank control group were 625%, 75%, and 13.3%, respectively, indicating that lemon essential oil has a recovery and treatment effect on mouse pneumonia. In addition, lemon essential oil is rich in Vc, and more and more clinical efficacy shows that it has good effects in preventing gingivitis and oral ulcers, reducing melanin, removing dead skin cells, tightening microvessels, and promoting collagen production; Currently, manufacturers have added lemon essential oil to the production of mouthwash and compound massage oil, as well as in leisure places and beauty institutions using lemon essential oil vapor therapy to treat colds, loss of voice, influenza, depression, and boost spirits. - Application in biopesticides and pest control
Plant essential oils have the advantages of high biological activity against pests, low resistance to pesticides, low toxicity to humans and animals, and no environmental pollution. They are a good raw material for biopesticides, with strong fumigation and contact killing activities against pests and population inhibition effects. As a new type of plant-based coating medicine, it has potential value and a broad market.
