What is Limonin? Limonin is a limonoid, and a bitter, white, crystalline substance found in citrus and other plants. Limonin is also known as limonoate D-ring-lactone and limonoic acid di-delta-lactone. Chemically, limonin is a member of the class of compounds known as furanolactones. Limonin is enriched in citrus fruits and is often found at higher concentrations in seeds, for example orange and lemon seeds. Limonin is also present in plants such as those of the Dictamnus genus. Limonin and other limonoid compounds contribute to the bitter taste of some citrus food products. Researchers have proposed removal of limonin from orange juice and other products (known as "debittering") through the use of polymeric films.
Where will Limonin be used for? Ongoing research programs are examining the effects of limonin in human diseases.
