GC-MS profiling of the chemical compounds in the for the oily extract of Citrus sinensis and Citrus Limon peels
Keywords:
Citrus, D-limonene, GC-MS techniqueAbstract
Citrus fruits are used for the prevention of many chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. The leaves and fruits of the citrus genus contain antioxidants. The oil of the family plants has uses in folk medicine , This article outlines the differences in phytochemical constitutions of two species of the genus citrus in Iraq by the GC-MS technique , nine different compounds are recorded in Citrus sinensis whereas 21 compounds in Citrus limon , The present study proved its assistance in the classification of species studied using chemotaxonomic techniques, especially the GC-MS technique, which represents an easy and direct analytical approach for the identification of phytoconstituents.
