The major components were

The polymer is made of sulphur and
limonene. Millions of tons of sulphur are produced by the oil and gas industry every year, while thousands of tons of
limonene (highly concentrated in orange peels) are produced by the citrus industry.
Limonene was provided by Firmenich (Plainsboro, New Jersey)

2008) have demonstrated lethal effects of
Limonene limonene oxide and eight b-amino alcohol derivatives @ 10 and 2.5 mg/mL on larvae of R.
By gas chromatography--mass spectrometry analysis, it was determined that the major components of the oil were [alpha]-pinene (0.52 to 1.02 mg [g.sup.-1]), [beta]-pinene (0.04 to 0.67 mg [g.sup.-1]),
limonene (0.00 to 0.06 mg [g.sup.-1]), terpineol (0.01 to 0.18 mg [g.sup.-1]), and (-)-caryophyllene (0.02 to 0.52 mg [g.sup.-1]), with quantities depending on sampling dates.
The characteristic organoleptic properties of
limonene and its usage in food and other applications encouraged the scientists and industries to work extensively on its synthesis and microbial conversions [8-12].
Recent reports investigating chemical composition of Blepharocalyx salicifolius EOs by GC-MS analysis have already found several constituents, such as 1,8-cineole, linalool, [beta]-caryophyllene [9], [beta]-pinene,
limonene [10, 11], myrcene, [alpha]-pinene [11], spathulenol, and pinene [10].
