Essential oil of the orange peel which was extracted by hydrodistillation method
showed 50 different mono- and sesquiterpenes on GC-MS analysis, in which
limonene had the highest percentage (92.4%). Due to various important uses of the
compound, a method was developed for isolation and purification of limonene. In
this method, for extra purification, a fractional distillation on Vigreux column
under 100 mm Hg vacuum was used which resulted in 96.7% purity for limonene.
Subsequent chromatography by two different packages of silica gel and active
charcoal columns resulted in 99.4% and 99.9 % purity of limonene, respectively.
