Is bitter orange oil and Limonene the same?

Bitter orange oil and Limonene are both extracted from the bitter orange fruit, but they are not the same compound. Limonene is the primary terpene in bitter orange oil and gives it its characteristic citrusy scent. However, bitter orange oil contains other compounds, including linalool, myrcene, and phellandrene, which contribute to its aroma and flavor. Limonene is a colorless liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is commonly used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes and cosmetics and as a flavoring agent in food and beverages. Limonene is also found in other citrus fruits such as lemons, grapefruits, and oranges.
