Abstract:

Hydro distillation of Citrus aurantifolia peels gave 0.47% of essential oil. GC-MS analysis of peel oil showed the presence of 21 different components. Out of which 14 components were identified. Limonene was found 82.84% to be the most dominating terpene followed by -thujene (0.16%), -terpinene (8.55%), -pinene (1.90%), 3-carene (0.01%), iso-terpinolene (0.55%), 4-terpineol (0.39%), -terpineol (0:39%), Trans carveol (0.33%), Geraniol (0.09%), Geranyl alcohol (0.11%), -cedrene (0.18%), -cadinene (0.18%) and -bisabolene (0.22%). The rest of the components were less than 1.0% each and 6.73% portion of the essential oil remained unidentified.
