Why D-Limonene is a citrus staple
D-Limonene delivers the fresh, sweet-tart character of orange and lemon peel. It functions as a flavour compound, a fragrance top note, and a natural cleaning or degreasing solvent — one ingredient, multiple roles across the value chain.
Our botanical D-Limonene is molecularly distilled for purity, then verified by in-house GC/MS. Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis so you can audit identity and purity before production scale.
