Edible lemon essence, with its bright, tangy olfactory experience and natural, healthy ingredient properties, has become an indispensable flavour essence in the food industry. This extract, centred around cold-pressed lemon essential oil, uses modern flavouring technology to recreate the authentic taste of fresh fruit while imparting antioxidant properties and enhancing flavour and freshness. It is widely used in beverages, baking, and confectionery.
