The lemon juice exchange may be right, but lemon extract is much, much stronger. My experiments show that you need about 1/8 tsp. oil to equal 1 tsp. extract. There are some other exchange amounts listed on my website, see some at http://www.theprovidenthomemaker.com/1/post/2012/01/cooking-with-essential-oils.html Above, you said that 1 drop essential oil was equal to 1 tsp. lemon juice or extract.

Lemon essential oil is distilled from lemon rinds and is sometimes used for digestive supporting benefits and can be part of a healthy gastrointestinal maintenance program. It also provides healthy antioxidant benefits and has natural antimicrobial properties. <br/>But lemon essential oil does not contain digestive food enzymes, sugars, and other nutrients found in the whole lemon fruit. Hi Kareena,
