Best Answer

limonene is a colourless liquid at room temperature with extremely strong smell of orange. it can be found in citrus fruit plant. it takes it name from the lemon, as the rind of the lemon, like other citrus fruits, contains considerable amount of this chemical compound, which is responsible for much of their smell.
