Abstract Common fragranced consumer products, such as cleaning supplies and personal care emit chiral compounds limonene that have been associated with adverse effects on human health. However, those same abound in nature, at similar concentrations but without the apparent health effects. We investigated whether different types of may elicit biological In this study, we mortality rate mosquito ...

abstract: due to the importance of essential oils and their use in various industries, the essential oils of four types of citrus consisting of orange (c. sinesis), tangerine (c. reticulate), sweet lemon (c. limetta) and sour lemon (c. limon) were extracted and subjected to chemical analysis to identify and evaluate the chemical constituents of the oils. the average essential oils of orange, ta...

Electronic state spectroscopy of limonene has been investigated using vacuum ultraviolet photoabsorption spectroscopy in the energy range 5.0-10.8 eV. The availability of a high resolution photon beam (~0.075 nm) enabled detailed analysis of the vibrational progressions and allowed us to propose, for the first time, new assignments for several Rydberg series. Excited states located in the 7.5-8...

Reactions between ozone and terpenoids produce numerous products, some of which may form secondary organic aerosol (SOA). This work investigated the contribution to gas-phase SOA formation of ozone reactions with surface-sorbed D-limonene, which is common indoors. A model framework was developed to predict SOA mass formation because of ozone/terpenoid surface reactions, and it was used with ste...

Monoterpenes are nonnutritive dietary components found in the essential oils of citrus fruits and other plants. A number of these dietary monoterpenes have antitumor activity. For example, d-limonene, which comprises >90% of orange peel oil, has chemopreventive activity against rodent mammary, skin, liver, lung and forestomach cancers. Similarly, other dietary monoterpenes have chemopreventive ...

The aim of the present work is to investigate an integration of a microbial reaction system for the oxidation of limonene using a psychrotrophic strain with an unconventional oxygenation of the culture. The alternative method for increasing the dissolved oxygen concentration in culture media for biotransformation of R-(+)-limonene by Mortierella minutissima 01 is based on catalase-mediated deco...

In this study, two terpenes with the same functional group; limonene oxide and pinene oxide were used at 5% w/v concentration in 50% v/v ethanol and 100% v/v propylene glycol (PG) to enhance the in vitro permeation of haloperidol (HP) through the human epidermis (or stratum corneum, SC). The enhancement mechanism of terpenes from both solvents was elucidated with HP-SC binding studies, Fourier ...

This study represents the investigation of the essential oil of Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton, Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton var. crispa f. viridis, Perilla ocymoides L. var. bicolorlaciniata leaves collected at full flowering stage in August 2007, in Lithuania. As biogenesis and composition of essential oil depends on geographical location, environmental factors, plants with same chemotype...

Limonene is a renewable cyclic monoterpene that easily obtainable from citrus peel and it commonly used as nutraceutical ingredient, antibacterial, biopesticide green extraction solvent well additive in healthcare, fragrance food beverage industries for its characteristic lemon-like smell. Indeed, the lack of toxicity makes limonene promising bio-alternative development wide range effective pro...
