Characteristics

Chemically similar but organoleptically superior to d-limonene, the terpenes are by-products of the concentration of orange oil through vacuum distillation.  The price depends on the demand for folded oils, giving manufacturers the choice to allocate the production costs to the terpenes or to the folded oils to accommodate the demand.
