1.‌Anti-corrosion and preservation‌: L-LIMONENE has the function of anti-corrosion and preservation, and has a significant inhibitory effect on common spoilage bacteria that cause meat spoilage, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus niger, Escherichia coli, etc. In the food industry, by emulsifying DL-limonene and adding it to orange juice, the preservation effect of food can be significantly improved and the spoilage of food can be reduced.

2.‌Anti-bacterial property‌: L-LIMONENE is a safe and non-toxic anti-bacterial substance that can accumulate on the surface of microorganisms, causing a large reduction in the content of unsaturated fatty acids in the membrane, changing the composition of the membrane or destroying its integrity, thereby achieving an anti-bacterial effect. DL-limonene in grapefruit peel essential oil has a significant inhibitory effect on bacteria, fungi and molds.

3.‌Anti-oxidation‌: L-LIMONENE has good antioxidant properties, can scavenge free radicals, prevent oxidative damage, and thus prevent the occurrence of cancer to a certain extent. Essential oil extracts rich in DL-limonene can bleach β-carotene, show good antioxidant capacity, DPPH free radical scavenging ability, and provide antioxidants for the human body.

4.‌Industrial cleaning‌: L-LIMONENE can replace traditional chemical solvents in industrial cleaning and has the effect of degreasing and cleaning. It can be prepared into a cleaning agent with surfactants and additives for cleaning ink on printing presses. Compared with gasoline cleaning agents, the dosage is reduced by about 20%, the number of cleaning times is reduced by about 1/4~1/3, and the cleaning effect is better‌.

5.‌Synthetic flavors and food additives‌: L-LIMONENE is one of the important synthetic flavor varieties and is widely used in the food industry.
