Abstract
The study is majored in the analysis of their chemical components of essential oils by water distillation of the peels and leaves from three kinds of Citrus medica L. var. Medica (CML), Citrus hystrix L.(CHL), and Citrus aurantifolia swingle (CAS) by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The results were shown that the yields of the essential oils of peels and leaves of CML, CHL, and CAS are 0.85% ± 0.02% and 0.16% ± 0.02%, 6.49% ± 0.25% and 2.04% ± 0.21%, 0.86% ± 0.04% and 0.57% ± 0.03%, respectively. The main component of the essential oils of peels and leaves of the CML and the CAS is the monoterpene compound D-limonene (87.02%, 31.78%, 56.18%, 29.88%). The main component of the essential oils of the peels of the CHL is the monoterpene compound β-pinene (36.08%) and the main component of the essential oils of the leaves of the CHL is the aldehyde compound citronellal (90.18%).
