Abstract
A process for the preparation of monoterpene compounds (such as perillyl alcohol, aldehyde and .alpha.-terpineol) from limonene is described. The process uses Bacillus stearothermophilus which is effective at high temperatures (55.degree. to 70.degree. C.). A preferred strain of Bacillus stearothermophilus is ATCC 55596.
