Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
dl-Limonene has a pleasant, lemon-like odor free from campho raceous and turpentine-like notes. The most important and wide spread terpene; it is known in the d- and ι- optically active forms and in the optically inactive dl-iovm (known as dipentene); it has
been reported found in more than 300 essential oils in amounts
ranging from 90 - 95% (lemon, orange, mandarin) to as low as
1% (palmarosa); the most widespread form is the d-limonene,
followed by the racemic form, and then ι-limonene. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Limonene is a monoterpene that is cyclohex-1-ene substituted by a methyl group at position 1 and a prop-1-en-2-yl group at position 4 respectively. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is a cycloalkene and a p-menthadiene. |
