Application
D-Limonene is an all-natural, biodegradable solvent derived from orange peels, typically extracted during orange juice production. Known for its characteristic citrus aroma, it is widely used as a flavor and fragrance additive in food, beverages, and personal care products. Due to its exceptional solvency and renewable origin, D-Limonene is a popular choice in bio-based cleaning formulations, particularly degreasers, where it not only delivers powerful cleaning performance but also imparts a pleasant citrus scent. Its combination of high performance, biodegradability, and sustainability makes it a favorable alternative to conventional petroleum-based solvents.
