there great and you can extract orange oil from the skins and be a show off at the nexus with you revolutionary new tek.
it would be real easy to do
You'll need about a grove's worth of oranges & an industrial "
squeezer" to
express the oil out of the peels.
Then you'll need to distill it until you've got a clear solvent, that should be
easy enough.
Oh, & a lot of time to do it!
That should get you enough dirty Limonene to do a
small extraction tek.
Or you could keep looking for a supplier who does this in an industrial setting already & makes it 95-99% pure.
A lot of D-Limonene is made from byproducts from the orange industry. It comes from the oil in the peel & takes some serious pressure to get it out of there & a ton of peels to get a usable amount. Go try to squeeze some Limonene from an orange peel without a serious press of some kind. If you get any from one peel, it'll only be a drop or two.
The peels from all of the oranges used to make millions of products that use them, used to just be thrown away.
Now they are put to good use, by getting tons of them together & expressing the essential oils from the peels, then distilling it to get out all the impurities, etc... to eventually get D-Limonene.
Or something like that....
So anyway, it's really not that easy just because it's orange oil & oranges are easy to come by.
