LIMONOIDS

 

Limonoids are heavily oxygenated, modified triterpenes dominant in the plant family Meliaceae, and to a lessor extent in Rutaceae. The latter has received considerable attention due to the bitter taste of most limonoids; Rutaceae includes the citrus species of commerce. The major limonoid in this family is limonin, accountable for the bitterness of poor quality juices. Other members of the Meliaceae are far more common in tropical flora and bring important examples of structural diversity and impressive topography in the three dimensional display of chemical functionality…. an untapped resource. Limonoids are of moderate polarity, being insoluble in water; soluble in DMSO, ethanol, toluene; insoluble in hexane.

Access to Meliaceae species in a reliable and sustainable mode is the province of GAIA; the chemical manipulation of this remarkable group of compounds is among our skills. Kilogram quantities are available a significant price reductions.
