Bitter Orange tree is an evergreen which grows up to 30 feet high with glossy dark green leaves and fragrant white flowers. The essential oil is produced by cold pressing of the peel. The bitter orange is really a native plant of the exotic regions within the Asian continent. Nowadays, the bitter orange is widely grown like a plantation tree through the entire tropics as well as subtropical areas of the world. Areas along the Mediterranean coast abound in orchards of the bitter orange.

The bitter orange is discovered and prepared like a scent throughout the 16th century, supposedly by an Italian princess named Anna-Marie de Nerola; she utilized the oil to scent her gloves.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Safety Summary

· Hazards: Skin sensitization if oxidized; phototoxic (low risk)

· Cautions:

Dermal - If applied to the skin at over maximum use level, skin must not be exposed to sunlight or sunbed rays for 12 hours.

Maximum dermal use level 1.25% (for phototoxicity).

Organ Specific Effects

· Adverse skin reaction: Undiluted bitter orange oil was moderately irritating to rabbits and was very mildly irritating to mice; tested at 10% on 25 volunteers it was neither irritating nor sensitizing. In a study of 200 consecutive dermatitis patients, three (1.5%) were sensitive to 2% bitter orange oil on patch testing. In a clinical trial, bitter orange oil was applied to three groups of 20 patients each, at 20% in alcohol three times daily (group 1), at 25% in an emulsion three times daily, or 100% once daily for 1–3 weeks. The patients were being treated for superficial dermatophyte infections, one of the most common types of fungal skin conditions. There were no side effects, except for “mild irritation” in group three. A 65- year-old aromatherapist with multiple essential oil sensitivities reacted to 5%, but not 1% orange oil. Autoxidation products of (þ)-limonene can cause skin sensitization. Distinct phototoxic effects were found for bitter orange oil.

· Reproductive toxicity: The low reproductive toxicity of (þ)- limonene suggests that bitter orange oil is not hazardous in pregnancy.

Systemic Effects

· Acute Toxicity: Non-toxic. Bitter orange oil acute oral LD50 in rats >5 g/kg; acute dermal LD50 in rabbits >10 g/kg.

· Carcinogenic/anti carcinogenic potential: Orange oil was not mutagenic in the Ames test, and did not produce CA in Chinese hamster fibroblasts (Ishidate et al 1984). Orange oil (type unspecified) significantly induced glutathione S-transferase in mouse liver and small bowel mucosa and inhibited B[a]P-induced neoplasia of both forestomach and lungs (Wattenberg et al 1985). Orange oil (type unspecified) demonstrated a chemopreventive action in both nitrosomethylurea-induced rat mammary carcinomas and N-nitrosodiethylamine-induced preneoplastic hepatic lesions in rats (Bodake et al 2002, Maltzman et al 1989). (þ)- Limonene displays anticarcinogenic activity (see (þ)-Limonene profile).
