The Autoxidation of d-Limonene.

Occupational contact dermatitis caused by D-limonene.

BACKGROUND Limonene is widely used as a fragrance substance and solvent in cleansing products. Oxidized limonene is a frequent contact allergen among consumers of cosmetics, personal care products, and scented household cleaning products. Less is known about the sources of occupational exposure and occupational contact dermatitis caused by limonene. OBJECTIVE To report 14 patients with occupa...

Isolation and Screening of D-limonene-resistant Microorganisms

This study reports the isolation of microorganisms that are resistant to environment containing limonene, the most important residue in the citrus industry. For the isolation, samples collected from strategic places of a citrus processing plant (yellow water, entrance and exit of the bagasse tank, effluent and deteriorated fruits found in bins, machine straps, fruit washers and plant floor), so...

D-Limonene modulates T lymphocyte activity and viability.

d-Limonene, a cyclic terpene that is a major component of several plant essential oils, is used widely as an additive in perfumes, soaps, foods and beverages, and has also been shown to possess chemopreventative and chemotherapeutic activity. A limited number of studies have been conducted investigating the effect of d-limonene on immune system function. We show that d-limonene and its metaboli...

Tissue autoxidation inhibitors. I. The inhibition of DOPA autoxidation by extracts from normal and neoplastic tissues.

Modeling of the Copolymerization Kinetics of n-Butyl Acrylate and d-Limonene Using PREDICI "672

Kinetic modeling of the bulk copolymerization of D-limonene (Lim) and n-butyl acrylate (BA) at 80 ̋C was performed using PREDICIr. Model predictions of conversion, copolymer composition and average molecular weights are compared to experimental data at five different feed compositions (BA mol fraction = 0.5 to 0.9). The model illustrates the significant effects of degradative chain transfer due...
