About

Steam distillate aqueous solution from grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) fruit with residual furanocoumarins subject to EU restriction.

Citrus Paradisi Fruit Water is the aqueous solution from steam distillation of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) fruit. EU Annex III entry II/358 applies because grapefruit is a known furanocoumarin-containing species; however, steam distillation significantly reduces furanocoumarin content compared to expressed juice or peel extracts. The hydrosol retains the fruit's volatile aromatic compounds. EU restriction II/358 is listed in the material's regulatory record.
