Distribution of essential oils in leaf tissue of an F2 population of Citrus
SummaryThe identification and distribution of 17 mono- and sesquiterpenes in an F2 population produced from selfing of an interspecific F1 hybrid is presented. A mode of inheritance for most of these components is attempted, percentages of leaf oil components and a correlation matrix are given.
Comparisonof peel volatile componentsof citron and pummelo ( Citrus sp . )
The peel volatile components of citron and pummelowere investigated in this study.Peel flavor components were extracted by using cold-press andeluted by using n-hexane. Then all analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS.Fifty-twoand forty-seven peel components incitron and pummelo respectivelyincluding: aldehydes,alcohols, esters, ketones,monoterpenesandsesquiterpeneswere identified and quantified. The major flavor components were limonene,γ-terpinene, β-myrcene, (E)-βocimene, α-Pinene, β-Pinene,neraland geranial. Betweentwospecies examined, citronshowed the highest content of aldehydes. Since the aldehyde content of Citrus oilisconsidered asone of the most important indicators of high quality,species apparently has a profound influence on Citrus oil quality.
Characterization of essential oils; Mentha genus oils.
An investigation has been made on essential oils from plants of the Mentha genus. The physical constants have been determined. The types of oils have been grouped on the basis on their ketones as determined by the chromatoplate method.
