Abstract:
The essential oil in the outer yellow and inner white peels of Citrus Grandis Planted in Jiangyong (Huan Provience) was extracted by steam distillation. GC-MS analysis showed that 61 and 22 kinds of compounds existed in the essential oil in the outer yellow and inner white peels, respectively. The main components in the essential oil of outer yellow peel were hydrocarbons, among which limonene was found with high content of 76.04%. In white peels, octadecadienoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, and ethylene oxide heptamer were found to be the main compounds.
