The physicochemical indices, the enantiomeric distribution of some monoterpene hydrocarbons, the qualitative and quantitative composition of the volatile fraction and the oxygenated heterocyclic fraction of cold-pressed Mexican Dancy tangerine essential oils are reported. The volatile fraction is characterized by a higher content of limonene. γ-Terpinene, myrcene and α-pinene are the other most abundant hydrocarbons. Linalool is the main oxygenated compound. The oxygen heterocyclic fraction contains five polymethoxylated flavones, tangeritin being the main of them. Very little difference in the chemical and physicochemical composition of Dancy tangerine oils of different geographical origin was detected.

Abstract
The physicochemical indices, the enantiomeric distribution of some monoterpene hydrocarbons, the qualitative and quantitative composition of the volatile fraction and the oxygenated heterocyclic fraction of cold-pressed Mexican Dancy tangerine essential oils are reported. The volatile fraction is characterized by a higher content of limonene. γ-Terpinene, myrcene and α-pinene are the other most abundant hydrocarbons. Linalool is the main oxygenated compound. The oxygen heterocyclic fraction contains five polymethoxylated flavones, tangeritin being the main of them. Very little difference in the chemical and physicochemical composition of Dancy tangerine oils of different geographical origin was detected.Pubblicazioni consigliate
