Where citrus terpene chemistry shows up in finished products
- Industrial cleaning + degreasing: D-Limonene is the bio-based replacement for petroleum solvents in industrial cleaning, parts-washing, hand-cleaners
- F&F citrus compounds: the universal citrus building-block across personal-care, body-care, mass-market FMCG fragrance
- Beverage flavour: orange / citrus flavour bases for soft drinks, juice, confectionery
- Paint + polish solvents: bio-based solvent alternative to petroleum-derived hydrocarbons
- Repellent + PMD chemistry: citronellal is the upstream feedstock for p-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD), the EPA / CDC-recognised plant-based DEET alternative
- Vitamin synthesis: citral is the industrial precursor for vitamin-A synthesis
- Pine chemistry blends: alpha pinene blends with D-limonene give the classic “fresh pine-citrus” character widely used in soap and candle
