In order to evaluate the differences in the qualitative and quantitative composition of lemon essential oils obtained from different lemon cultivars, the oils were analyzed by HRGC and HRGC/MS. The components were identified in each oil on polar and apolar capillary columns. The samples analyzed were obtained from lemon plants cultivated in Sicily in an experimental field. The selection reflected the diversity of these cultivars in the Italian productive areas. The results obtained are informative of the different oils quality and explain the variation of the Italian industrial lemon essential oil composition.

Abstract
In order to evaluate the differences in the qualitative and quantitative composition of lemon essential oils obtained from different lemon cultivars, the oils were analyzed by HRGC and HRGC/MS. The components were identified in each oil on polar and apolar capillary columns. The samples analyzed were obtained from lemon plants cultivated in Sicily in an experimental field. The selection reflected the diversity of these cultivars in the Italian productive areas. The results obtained are informative of the different oils quality and explain the variation of the Italian industrial lemon essential oil composition.File in questo prodotto:
