Comparison of % composition of essential oils in citrus peels of orange (Citrus aurantium), lemon (Citrus limomum), and lime (Citrus aurantifolia) by solvent extraction using hexane and ethyl acetate as the solvents / Nuurhuda Diyana Mohd Tahir

Essential oils from citrus peels of orange, lemon, and lime were extracted by solvent extraction using hexane and ethyl acetate as the solvent. The composition of essential oil was analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS). Overall, hexane extracts from all citrus peels showed higher p...
