Abstract

Citrus peels are a rich source of nutrients, essential oil, and phenolic acid compounds. As they are produced in large amounts during fruit processing, these residues can be used as a potential nutraceutical resource instead of disposal as the wastes in the environment. Regarding the beneficial uses of citrus peels, essential oil composition taken from peels of Citrus maxima and Citrus sinensis cultivated in Iran were identified. 29 and 23 compounds were detected in essential oils of C. maxima and C. sinensis, respectively. The most represented compound in both plants was limonene, with 95.43 % for C. maxima and 76.9 % for C. sinensis. Other predominant compounds detected in C. sinensis peel volatile oil were linalool (9.4 %), myrcene (3.5 %), α- pinene (1.2 %), n-octanal (1.1 %), and α-terpineol (1.2 %).

摘要

柑橘皮富含营养物质、精油和酚酸化合物。由于它们在水果加工过程中大量产生，这些残留物可以用作潜在的营养资源，而不是作为环境中的废物进行处置。关于柑橘皮的有益用途，从皮取精油成分柑橘最大值和甜橙在伊朗种植鉴定。香茅和香茅精油中分别检测到29和23种化合物。两种植物中最具代表性的化合物是柠檬烯，其中C. maxima为95.43%，C . sinensis为 76.9% 。检测到的其他主要化合物C. sinensis果皮挥发油为芳樟醇 (9.4 %)、月桂烯 (3.5 %)、α-蒎烯 (1.2 %)、正辛醛 (1.1 %) 和 α-松油醇 (1.2 %)。
