Abstract

The chemical composition of the essential oil of a new Citrus hybrid, obtained by crossbreeding the diploid clementine Citrus clementina cv. Nules and the tetraploid Citrus limon. L. cv. Cavone was studied by GC-MS. Both parent and hybrid oils were laboratory-extracted from the peel fruits and analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID. Sixth-eight components were fully characterized by mass spectra, linear retention indices and injection of standards. The average composition as single components and as classes of substances for all the oils analyzed is reported; the composition of the new hybrid oil resulted similar to that of Nules Clementine as happened for the fruit shape and sensorial characteristics.
