Limonoids (ontology term: CHEMONTID:0002380)
Highly oxygenated, modified terpenoids with a prototypical structure either containing or derived from a precursor with a 4,4,8-trimethyl-17-furanylsteroid skeleton. All naturally occurring citrus limonoids contain a furan ring attached to the D-ring, at C-17, as well as oxygen containing functional groups at C-3, C-4, C-7, C-16 and C-17."

Linonin
Linonin, also known as 7,16-dioxo-7,16-dideoxylimondiol or evodin, is a member of the class of compounds known as limonoids. Limonoids are highly oxygenated, modified terpenoids with a prototypical structure either containing or derived from a precursor with a 4,4,8-trimethyl-17-furanylsteroid skeleton. All naturally occurring citrus limonoids contain a furan ring attached to the D-ring, at C-17, as well as oxygen containing functional groups at C-3, C-4, C-7, C-16 and C-17. Linonin is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Linonin can be found in lemon, which makes linonin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Limonin is a limonoid, an epoxide, a hexacyclic triterpenoid, a member of furans, an organic heterohexacyclic compound and a lactone. It has a role as a metabolite, an inhibitor and a volatile oil component. Limonin is a natural product found in Citrus tankan, Flacourtia jangomas, and other organisms with data available.
