Limonene, a naturally occurring monoterpene predominantly found in citrus peel, was selected for this study due to its extensive utility in food and industrial applications. Its role as an environmentally acceptable cleaning agent underscores its potential for sustainable and innovative uses, thanks to its remarkable bioactive properties. This compound represents a bridge between ecological responsibility and functional versatility, making it a valuable subject of research. This study aimed to extract limonene from orange peels using the Soxhlet method and ethanol. The identification was performed using the TLC method, which involved: Adsorbent (stationary phase): silica gel 60 F254. The mobile phase was chloroform-methanol (8:2). Visualization: UV at 254 nm and 366 nm. The analysis revealed limonene as the dominant component in the extract. The amount collected was quite high (350 mg/g of dry samples) compared to similar studies, showing that the Soxhlet method works well for getting useful compounds from citrus peel. While this study focused on the extraction and identification of limonene, future research may optimize the extraction conditions and explore the bioactivity of the extract to maximize its potential applications.
