Abstract

 

Bitter orange (Citrus aurantium L.) and lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Burm.

f.) leaf oils were obtained from bitter orange tree leaves and lemon

tree leaves by steam distillation. The oils were analyzed by

high-resolution gas chromatography (HRGC) and high-resolution gas

chromatography mass spectrometry (HRGC/MS). In total, 50 and 60

components have been identified in bitter orange and lemon leaf oils,

respectively. Bitter orange leaf oil showed a high content of oxygenated

compounds (89.6%) with linalyl acetate (50.1%) and linalool (24.8%)

being the main components. Lemon leaf oil was characterized by higher

content of monoterpene hydrocarbons (64.2%) of which limonenc (44.2%)

and [beta]-pinene (10.6%) were the major components. It contained a

lower content oxygenated compounds (33.5%) than the bitter orange leaf

oil.
