Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
The flower components of mandarin and sweet orange were investigated in this study. Flower components were extracted using an ultrasonic bath and eluted with n-pentane: diethyl ether (1:2) solvent. Then all analyzed using GC-FID and GC-MS. forty-nine and fifty-one flower components were identified in mandarin and sweet orange respectively including: aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. The major components were linalool, sabinene, limonene and (E)-?- ocimene. Between two species examined, mandarin showed the highest content of aldehydes. Since the aldehydes content of Citrus oil is considered as one of the most important indicators of high quality, species apparently has a profound influence on this factor.
