What is the solubility profile of zhike fruit peel oil?
As a terpene-rich citrus distillate, zhike fruit peel oil is practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in anhydrous ethanol, fixed oils, IPM and most fragrance solvents, and typically gives a clear solution in 90%+ ethanol at 1:1 to 1:5 dilution depending on the lot's limonene load; higher water content in the alcohol causes haze, which is normal and reversible.
For formulation work the practical checks are: clarity in the target solvent system at your use level, cold behaviour (possible light wax haze in some lots), and oxidation behaviour in diluted systems — limonene-rich citrus oils are prone to oxidative off-notes in sunlight, so antioxidants and amber/opaque packaging are recommended in consumer products. Exact solubility is a batch characteristic; G4S states the observed solubility in 90%/95% ethanol on the COA for routine lots on request.
