Limonene

Assemble a molecular structure model of Limonene using Genuine Molymod Components by indigoinstruments.com

Limonene, or more specifically, (R)-limonene, is a cyclic hydrocarbon also classified as a a cyclic monoterpene. It occurs naturally & extracted from citrus oils found in the peels of fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits. Limonene role in the aroma and flavor of citrus fruits makes it useful as an additive in cosmetics, soaps and fragrances. As a food flavorant it can mask the bitter taste of strongly alkaline compounds.

It is also considered to a biodegradable "organic" or botanical insecticide effective in killing or repelling ants, cockroaches, fleas, palmetto bugs, silverfish & other pests while being non-toxic to mammals, birds & fish.
