Abstract
Saturated and monounsaturated long-chain hydrocarbons were determined in juice sacs of two sour lime cultivars, Key and Persian, and one sweet lime, Columbia. The dominant hydrocarbon in the saturated fraction for all limes was linear C 25. For the monoene fraction, C 29 predominated in both Key and Persian, but C 25 predominated in Columbia. Iso- and anteiso-branched hydrocarbons comprised collectively 38·4–57·8% of the saturated fraction, but only 9·5–20·1% of the monoene group. The major branched isomers found in the saturated group were odd-numbered, iso-branched structures. In the monoene group, both odd-numbered, iso-branched and even-numbered, anteiso-branched structures were prominent.
