CAS 1180-71-8: limonin from citrus seeds
Description:Limonin is a bitter compound primarily found in the seeds and pulp of citrus fruits, particularly in the genus Citrus, such as oranges and grapefruits. It is classified as a limonoid, which is a type of tetracyclic triterpenoid. The chemical structure of limonin contributes to its characteristic bitterness, which can affect the flavor profile of citrus products. Limonin is known for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant properties and possible anti-cancer effects, although more research is needed to fully understand its biological activities. It is relatively stable under acidic conditions but can degrade under alkaline conditions or prolonged heat. The compound is often studied for its role in food science, particularly in the context of citrus juice processing, where its presence can influence consumer acceptance. Additionally, limonin's CAS number, 1180-71-8, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts. Overall, limonin is an important phytochemical with implications in both nutrition and food technology.
