Abstract
A steam distilled volatile oil obtained from the fruit peels of Citrus lemon belonging to Rutaceae family was analysed by capillary GC and GC-MS. The volatile oil contains 30 components of which 25 constituents comprising 95.50% of the oil were identified. The oil mainly contained monoterpenes (81.2%) and 1-limonene (37.2%) was the major characterized monoterpene followed by camphenes (12.3%) and α-terpineol (11.2%), α-phellendrene (6.5%) and 4-terpineol (6.4%). Among 13 sesquiterpenes (14.2%) identified, α-selinene (3%) was the predominant sesquit-erpene followed by caryophyllene oxide (2.5%), t-nerolidol (2.4%) and valencene (2.1%).
