Florachem d-Limonene

Florachem d-Limonene is extracted during the production of orange juice. It has the characteristic odor of oranges and is commonly used in the manufacturing of bio-based cleaning compounds as well as a flavor and fragrance additive. One of the main advantages of d-limonene is its superior solvency compared to other solvents. Additionally, it is highly biodegradable and derived from renewable resources, making it an environmentally friendly option.
