Citrus reticulata is
commonly called mandarin orange. It is native to Southeast Asia. It is a
rounded, usually thorny, evergreen shrub or small tree that grows to 15-25’
tall and produces fruit (to 3” diameter) resembling oranges. Mandarin oranges
have been in cultivation since 2000 B. C. Ovate to lanceolate leaves (to 1 1/2”
long) are evergreen. Fragrant white flowers bloom in the leaf axils in spring.
It is sometimes commonly called Christmas orange because of its popularity over
the Christmas holidays.
The Mandarin essential oil disperses a stunning fragrance which brings a unique feeling of joy to the entire environment when diffused. Our professionals cautiously extract the oil by following the strict guidelines of the cold pressed process. To make this oil famous and widely demanded, we export it to the industries to process soaps, perfumes, cosmetics and many other fragrant products. As it is not processed by adding artificial contents, it is safe and beneficial to use both internally and externally.

consult a medical practitioner before using Essential Oils for therapeutic

Citrus species contain a wide
range of active ingredients and research is still underway in finding uses for
them. They are rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, acids and volatile oils. They
also contain coumarins such as bergapten which sensitizes the skin to sunlight.
Bergapten is sometimes added to tanning preparations since it promotes
pigmentation in the skin, though it can cause dermatitis or allergic responses
in some people. Some of the plants more recent applications are as sources of
anti-oxidants and chemical exfoliants in specialized cosmetics. The fruit is
antiemetic, aphrodisiac, astringent, laxative and tonic. The flowers are
stimulant. The pericarp is analgesic, anti-asthmatic, anticholesterolemic,
anti-inflammatory, antiscorbutic, antiseptic, antitussive, carminative,
expectorant, stomachic. It is used in the treatment of dyspepsia,
gastro-intestinal distension, cough with profuse phlegm, hiccup and vomiting.
The endocarp is carminative and expectorant.
The
Mandarin essential oil is used in the treatment of dyspepsia,
gastro-intestinal distension, coughs and profuse phlegm. The un-ripened green
exocarp is carminative and stomachic. It is used in the treatment of pain in
the chest and hypochondrium, gastro-intestinal distension, swelling of the
liver and spleen and cirrhosis of the liver. The seed is analgesic and
carminative. It is used in the treatment of hernia, lumbago, mastitis and pain
or swellings of the testes.
An essential oil from the peel is
used as a food flavouring and also in perfumery and medicines. Yields are
around 0.5%. An essential oil obtained from the leaves and young twigs is
called 'petitgrain oil'. Yields are around 0.5%.

Safety advice
Because
of its (þ)-limonene content we recommend that oxidation of mandarin oil is
minimized by storage in a dark, airtight container in a refrigerator. The
addition of an antioxidant to preparations containing it is also recommended.
Organ Specific Effects
·
Adverse skin reaction: Undiluted tangerine oil was
irritating to rabbits, mice and pigs; tested at 5% on 25 volunteers it was
neither irritating nor sensitizing. It is non-phototoxic. Bergapten could not
be found in a sample of tangerine oil, with a detection limit of 0.00005%.
According to IFRA, the typical bergapten content of tangerine oil is 50 ppm.
This is not sufficient to cause a phototoxic reaction, but may contribute to
the total psoralen content of a mixture. Autoxidation products of (þ)-limonene
can cause skin sensitization.
·
Reproductive toxicity: The low developmental toxicity of (þ)-
limonene in rabbits and mice suggests that mandarin oil is not hazardous in
pregnancy.
Systemic
Effects
·
Acute
Toxicity: Mandarin oil
acute oral LD50 in rats >5 g/kg; acute dermal LD50 in rabbits >5 g/kg.
(þ)-Limonene displays anti carcinogenic activity.
·
Carcinogenic/anti carcinogenic potential: Tangerine
oil significantly induced glutathione S-transferase in mouse liver and small
bowel mucosa, and inhibited B[a]P-induced neoplasia of both forestomach and
lungs. The oil contains no known carcinogens. (þ)-Limonene displays
anticarcinogenic activity.
·
Toxicity: very toxic to aquatic life with long
lasting effects.
·
Persistence & degradability This substance
to be considered as a readily biodegradable substance, based on its ready
biodegradability, oil does not fulfil the criteria for persistence.
·
Bioaccumulation Potential Hazard statement H410
very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
·
Mobility in soil: Not known
