An international multicentre study on the allergenic activity of air-oxidized R-limonene
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Limonene is a common fragrance terpene that, in its pure form, is not allergenic or is a very weak allergen. However, limonene autoxidizes on air exposure, and the oxidation products can cause contact allergy. Oxidized R-limonene has previously been patch tested in multicentre studies, giving 2-3% positive patch test reactions in consecutive patients.
