    This document defines and provides specifications for lemon oil. It states that lemon oil is obtained from fresh lemon peel through expression without heat. The total aldehyde content must be between 2.2-3.8% for California lemon oil and 3.0-5.5% for Italian lemon oil. The document describes assays to test for total aldehyde content and foreign oils, and provides acceptance criteria for specific tests measuring specific gravity, optical rotation, refractive index, and ultraviolet absorbance. Additional requirements specify packaging, storage, and labeling of lemon oil.
