Analysis of leaf oils from four varieties of sweet orange by combined gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry

Abstract

Abstract The leaf oil of four varieties of Algerian sweet orange were examined by GC and GC‐MS. In total, 68 constituents were identified from which 50, 54, 38 and 43 compounds were found to be present in the leaf oils of Washington‐navel, Valencia, Sanguine and Portuguese varieties respectively. Of the 68 constituents, 34 were characterized in sweet orange leaf oil for the first time.
