(R)-(+)-Limonene is present in the peel oil from citrus fruits. It is the most commonly used fragrance materials in technical products and in fine fragrances. It is the major constituent of the essential oil extracted from Anethum sowa Roxb. (Indian dill). Racemic limonene undergoes enantio-selective and enantio-specific conversion to (R)-(+)-+a-terpineol byPenicillium digitatum mycelia. Biotransformation of (R)-(+)- and (S)-(-)-limonene by fungi has been investigated.(R)-(+)-Limonene has been used to investigate the in vitro and in vivo action of limonene against Leishmania species.
