limonene 1,2-epoxide + H2O = limonene-1,2-diol
(4S)-limonene + NADPH + O2 + H(+) = limonene 1,2-epoxide + NADP(+) + H2O
(4S)-limonene + NADH + O2 + H(+) = limonene 1,2-epoxide + NAD(+) + H2O
(4R)-limonene + NADH + O2 + H(+) = limonene 1,2-epoxide + NAD(+) + H2O

The lemon is a small evergreen tree native to Asia, and the tree's ellipsoidal yellow fruit. The fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world, primarily for its juice, though the pulp and rind are also used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid, which gives lemons a sour taste. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes it a key ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade.
