Abstract
The chemical composition of the volatile compounds of peel and leaf oils from Calamondin (xCitrofortunella microcarpa (Bunge) Wijnands) was studied by GC and GC-MS. Fifty-nine and seventy-two compounds were identified, which represented nearly 100 % of the total composition of the peel oil and leaf oil. The chemical components of these oils showed marked differences in quantity as well as quality. The most prominent compounds in the peel oil was limonene (77.0 %), while in the leaf oil the major components were elemol (15.4 %) and α-eudesmol (11.1 %).
