The essential oil chemotype of Citrus reticulata Blanco peel

 ABSTRACT:

Enlightened by Lota’s report, this paper first analyzes the volatile oil chemotype of Citrus reticulata Blanco peel from different cultivars according to the contents of four compounds such as Limonene, γ-Terpinene, Linalool, and Benzoic acid, 2-(methylamino)-, methyl ester (or called Methyl methanthranilate).In fact, all oils have Limonene as a primary component, and they all can be classified as the chemotype of Limonene. And most oils comprise γ-Terpinene as the second high amount component, some oils comprise the characteristic components as Linalool and Methyl methanthranilate. Then, based on the standard that ifγ-Terpinene≥ 9.0%, Linalool ≥ 4.0%, Methyl methanthranilate≥ 1.0%,the oil can be continually sub classified as the chemotype of γ-Terpinene, Linalool,orMethyl methanthranilate. Following this principle, the oilchemotype of different cultivars in dissimilar area presents somesimilarities and differences.
