Bergamot Oil is a treasure among natural fragrances. It is a green to yellow-green or brown-yellow volatile essential oil with a fresh sweet fruity aroma and bergamot fruity aroma, and has a bitter taste. Its unique fresh citrus-floral-herbal complex aroma (the core ingredients are linalyl acetate, linalool and limonene) gives it cross-domain versatility.
BERGAMOT OIL CAS 8007-75-8 Use
I. Perfumes and fragrances: the cornerstone of high-end fragrances
Top note soul ingredient
In cologne (such as classic 4711) and modern fougere fragrances, it provides an instant burst of fresh citrus scent, masks the alcohol stimulation, and naturally connects to the middle note floral fragrance.
Middle note blending master
Softens the sharpness of white flowers such as rose and jasmine, and enhances the roundness of the fragrance through the woody background of linalool (such as the coldness of balancing aldehydes in Chanel No. 5).
The creator of the iconic fougere note
Combined with oak moss to form a deep "citrus moss note", which prolongs the fragrance time by more than 40%, becoming the core structure of classic perfumes such as Guerlain Chiqui.
II. Daily chemicals and personal care: functional and sensory innovation
Oil control and acne solution
Add 0.5-1% to cleansing products, limonene dissolves pore oil, bergamot inhibits Propionibacterium acnes, and clinical tests show that acne is reduced by 63% in 8 weeks.
Emotional regulation washing and care
Use microencapsulation technology to slowly release linalool in shampoo/shower gel, activate brain GABA receptors, and reduce stress hormone cortisol by 23% (need to be verified with heart rate variability monitoring).
High-end soap essence
It is extremely alkali-resistant (stable at pH 10), giving soap a lasting fresh aftertaste and neutralizing the dull smell of the soap base.
III. Food and beverage: natural flavor and health empowerment
The iconic flavor of Earl Grey tea
Add 0.2ml per kilogram of tea to give a signature citrus-floral fragrance layer (distilled oil must be used to avoid photosensitivity).
Functional beverage innovation
Replacing synthetic flavors in citrus-flavored beverages (dosage 0.001-0.003%), combined with γ-aminobutyric acid can reduce anxiety index by 31%.
Fragrance enhancement for baked goods
Adding 0.005% distilled oil to Madeleine cakes and cookies can enhance the freshness without covering up the butter aroma.
BERGAMOT OIL CAS 8007-75-8 safety
Photosensitivity risk control
Desensitization oil must be used: molecular distillation is used to reduce the phototoxic substance bergamot to <0.001% (untreated crude oil can cause severe dermatitis under sunlight).
Taboos for daily chemical products
Avoid using with benzoyl peroxide (acne-removing ingredient) to prevent limonene from oxidizing to produce irritants.
Food application regulations
The EU stipulates that the amount used in juice is ≤0.05%, and the US FDA requires the use of distilled oil (bergamot <15ppm).
