Abstract
The study evaluated the effects of waxing and irradiation dose on the essential oils in orange peel. Mature oranges ( Maroc late ) waxed or unwaxed were treated with 0–2 kGy radiation. Volatiles in the peel were extracted and analyzed by G.C. D -limonene was significantly lower ( P ⩽0.05) in waxed oranges; levels in samples treated with 2 kGy were higher than those treated with 0 or 1 kGy. Linalool, methyl anthranilate and 3.7-dimethyl-2.6-octadienal decreased as the dose increased. The analysis of variance indicates that only linalool was influenced by post-irradiation storage time. The level of this compound increased with storage time.
