Product Description
Tangerines themselves are almost exactly the same as mandarin oranges with little difference. Unlike mandarins, tangerines do not have those annoying pips; they also have a deeper colour and are harvested at different times of the year.
Tangerines originate from China but are now grown in a variety of regions around the globe. Tangerine essential oil has many beneficial compounds. Most citrus based oils have high levels of Limonene.
Limonene is antimicrobial, antibacterial and an antioxidant. Distilled Tangerine oil is more likely to contain Geranial and Neral. Geranial has shown some ability to inhibit colon cancer cells. Expressed tangerine oil typically has higher levels of limonene and small amounts of Myrcene. Myrcene has anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties.
Tangerine essential oil is typically extracted through a process of cold compression from the peel of the fruit. Tangerine extracted in this method contains a host of chemical compounds such as alpha pinene, limonene, linalool, citronellal and camphene.
Tangerines have a rich history of use in Chinese culture as well as Chinese medicine and the essential oil is used today in aromatherapy to treat a variety of physical and mental conditions. Tangerine essential oil is extracted from Citrus reticula—the same plant as the mandarin.
