Understanding L-Limonene (CAS 5989-54-8): Properties, Production, and Industrial Uses

L-Limonene, identified by CAS number 5989-54-8, is a naturally occurring organic compound with a significant presence in various industries due to its unique chemical properties and pleasant aroma. This colorless to pale yellow oily liquid is a form of limonene, a cyclic monoterpene known for its strong citrus scent. As a leading L-Limonene manufacturer and supplier in China, we aim to provide a clear understanding of this versatile chemical.

Chemically, L-Limonene (C10H16) has a molecular weight of 136.23. It is characterized by its high solvency, good volatility, and a refractive index typically around 1.4712. Its optical rotation is usually between -94° and -130°, signifying its specific isomeric form. These properties make it an effective organic solvent, capable of dissolving oils, resins, and other nonpolar substances, making it a suitable replacement for harsher synthetic solvents in applications like coatings, inks, and adhesives.

The production of L-Limonene often involves extraction and purification from natural sources, such as certain essential oils. Our manufacturing processes in China focus on achieving high purity, typically ≥95%, to ensure optimal performance across its diverse applications. While D-Limonene is more common, L-Limonene also holds significant value in specific markets.

Industrially, L-Limonene is highly valued as a component in flavors and fragrances, adding a fresh citrus note to food products, beverages, cosmetics, and detergents. Beyond sensory applications, its potential in the medical field as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent is being explored. Furthermore, its efficacy as a natural insecticide and repellent highlights its utility in the agricultural sector.

For businesses seeking to buy L-Limonene, understanding its properties and sourcing from a reliable supplier is key. We offer competitive L-Limonene prices and a commitment to quality, making us a preferred L-Limonene supplier for many industries. Whether you need it for its solvent capabilities, aromatic qualities, or agricultural uses, our high-purity L-Limonene is designed to meet your exacting requirements.
