Botany
The blood orange plant is a preserved species of orange plant in Sicily, Europe. Blood orange is a hybrid variety that develops dark red color during its development in low night temperatures. Its peels are tougher, harder, and darker than other common species of oranges. The anthocyanin pigments continue to accumulate in the flesh during blossoming and even after harvest during cold storage.
Moro is the indigenous variety of blood oranges from Sicily. The other species of blood oranges such as Maltese, Sanguinelli, Scarlet navel, and Torocco are cultivated in Spain and Italy. They grow under moderate temperatures with sunshine and considerable water. This evergreen plant from Rutaceae family grows up to 26 ft and bears white flowers and orange fruits.
Blood Orange Essential Oil: Introduction
The ripe Moro blood oranges are harvested and their peels are accumulated by blood orange essential oil manufacturers for extraction of essential oils. The reddish-orange peels of the oranges are cold-pressed to derive a thin yellowish-orange oil. The oil has a raspberry-like sweet-tangy odor with high perfumery notes. It has antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, digestive, cleansing, and antibacterial properties.
