Origin
Citrus Aurantium Amara fruit extract is derived from the bitter orange. The fruit is first harvested, washed, and dried. The dried fruit is then crushed and subjected to a solvent extraction process using water or alcohol. This mixture is heated to release the extract, which is subsequently filtered to remove solid residues. The final step involves concentrating the liquid extract through evaporation.
