Description:
Lemon oil, with the CAS number 8008-56-8, is a natural essential oil extracted from the peels of lemons (Citrus limon). It is primarily composed of volatile compounds, with limonene being the most abundant, contributing to its characteristic citrus aroma. Lemon oil is typically a pale yellow to colorless liquid and has a fresh, zesty scent that is widely used in aromatherapy, cosmetics, and food flavoring. Its chemical properties include a low viscosity and a relatively low boiling point, making it highly volatile. Lemon oil exhibits antimicrobial and antifungal properties, which can be beneficial in various applications, including cleaning products and natural remedies. Additionally, it is often used in perfumery and as a flavoring agent due to its pleasant fragrance and taste. However, it should be noted that lemon oil can cause skin irritation in some individuals, particularly when exposed to sunlight, due to its phototoxicity. Overall, lemon oil is valued for its aromatic qualities and potential health benefits.

Lemon oil
CAS:<p>Lemon oil is a volatile essential oil, which is extracted from the rinds of lemons (Citrus limon) through a cold-pressing process. This natural substance contains a high concentration of limonene and other terpenoids, which contribute to its characteristic fragrance and chemical properties. Lemon oil functions primarily through the mechanism of oxidizing and solubilizing dirt and grease, which makes it an effective cleaning agent. Its antimicrobial properties come from its ability to disrupt microbial cell membranes and inhibit pathogen growth.</p>Purity:Min. 95%
