Limonene (/ ˈ l ɪ m ə n ˌ iː n /) is a colorless liquid aliphatic hydrocarbon classified as a cyclic monoterpene, and is the major component in the essential oil of citrus fruit peels. [1] The (+)- isomer , occurring more commonly in nature as the fragrance of oranges, is a flavoring agent in food manufacturing.
Linalool has uses in manufacturing of soaps, fragrances, food additives as flavors, household products, and insecticides. [1] Esters of linalool are referred to as linalyl, e.g. linalyl pyrophosphate, an isomer of geranyl pyrophosphate. [5] The word linalool is based on linaloe (a type of wood) and the suffix -ol. [6]
Research also indicates that the d-limonene in orange oil can be useful in exterminating drywood termites (Incisitermes). [8] Orange oil is used as a green pesticide for biological pest control, as it is effective against ants and other insects by disrupting their scent-pheromone trails or dissolving their exoskeletons, thereby preventing ...
Lavender oil has been used as a perfume, aromatherapy, and skin application, [8]: 184–186 but these uses have no clinical benefit. [9] Lavender oil is used in massage therapy as a way of inducing relaxation through direct skin contact, although allergic reactions may occur. [9]

Pulegone is a naturally occurring organic compound obtained from the essential oils of a variety of plants such as Nepeta cataria (), Mentha piperita, and pennyroyal. [3] [4] It is classified as a monoterpenoid, which means that it is an oxidized derivative of a terpene, a large class of naturally occurring C 10 hydrocarbons.
Carvone may be synthetically prepared from limonene by first treating limonene nitrosyl chloride. Heating this nitroso compound gives carvoxime. Treating carvoxime with oxalic acid yields carvone. [14] This procedure affords R-(−)-carvone from R-(+)-limonene. The major use of d-limonene is as a precursor to S-(+)-carvone. The large scale ...
