Lime oil

Lime oil, along with all citrus oils, can be produced by pressing the peel of the fruits of the lime tree, which is cultivated mainly in Central and North America. However, in view of the very low yield of the desired substance which is produced by this method, lime oil produced exclusively by steam distillation is a commercial product.
