conservent tout l'arôme des (fruits) agrumes frais
Explanation:
Je vote pour l'arôme aussi. C'est plus "culinaire" qu'"essence", qui relève plutôt du monde des parfums.
Je pense qu'il faut insister sur l'idée que le bonbon a gardé le même goût que les fruits d'origine, d'où "conservent".

renferment l'essence


Explanation:
..._essence_ of [...] _ flavours_ est un contre-sens que je recommande d'éliminer de la traductions.
"essence de fruits" est bien suffisant.
