L-Limonene is commonly extracted from citrus fruit peels, particularly oranges. The manufacturing process involves steam distillation or cold pressing of the peels to extract the essential oil. After extraction, the oil is typically separated, and L-Limonene is isolated through fractional distillation or other purification methods.
