Lime Juice

Lime juice is the liquid extract derived from limes, which are citrus fruits known for their vibrant green color and tart, refreshing taste. It is commonly used in both culinary and beverage applications to add zest and acidity, enhancing flavors in dishes and drinks alike.

The scent profile of lime juice is characteristically fresh and zesty. Limes carry a strong, citrusy aroma that is both sharp and slightly sweet. This scent is predominantly due to the presence of limonene, a natural compound found in the peel and the juice, which imparts a crisp, invigorating smell that is often associated with cleanliness and freshness.

Additionally, lime juice can emit subtle floral and herbaceous notes, making it a complex and appealing ingredient in perfumery and aromatherapy. Its zesty quality makes it valuable for cutting through richer flavors and smells in various contexts, from cooking to cleaning products, providing a burst of freshness that is both uplifting and energizing.
