Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of the Essential Oils from New Caledonian Citrus macroptera and Citrus hystrix

Abstract: The essential oils from the leaves of Citrus macroptera and C. hystrix, collected in New Caledonia, have been analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and evaluated for their antimicrobial activity. A total of 35 and 38 constituents were identified, representing 99.1 and 89.0% of the essential oils, respectively. Both essential oils were rich in monoterpenes (96.1 and 87.0%, resp.), with beta-pinene as major component (33.3 and 10.9%, resp.), and poor in limonene (2.4 and 4.7%, resp.). Other ma… Show more

Besides, the author found the presence of beta-pinene as major component [5]. Rana et al (2012) reported that essential oils obtained by hydro-distillation from the fresh peels of Citrus macroptera contained limonene, beta-caryophyllene and geranial as main compounds [6].…”
