Abstract

The chemical composition of the volatile compounds of peel and leaf oils from Citrus limettioides Tan. cultivated in Yucatan Peninsula was studied by GC and GC-MS. Sixty and sixty-six compounds were identified in the peel and leaf oils, respectively. The chemical components of these oils showed marked differences in chemical composition. The most prominent compound in the peel oil was limonene (73.2 %), while in the leaf oil the major components were limonene (32.1 %), citronellal (21.7 %) and linalool (15.5 %).
