Limonene Citrus Terpenoids
Limonene-dominant citrus terpenoids represent a terpene family characterized by bright, lemony, and orange-like aromatic compounds. Limonene is the primary monoterpene in this group, often comprising 5–15% of total terpene content in strains where it's the lead volatile. This family is frequently observed in cannabis lineages derived from citrus-forward parent plants, particularly those with Lemon Haze, Tangie, or similar heritage. Breeders working in this category often select for stable limonene expression across generations. The citrus terpenoid profile is commonly associated with uplifting sensory notes and is popular in breeding programs targeting consistent, recognizable aromatics.
