“…sarcodactylis, indicated that one of them presented limonene and p-cymene as the major oil constituents, while the other chemotype predominantly contained limonene and c-terpinene (Dung et al 1996). Lota et al (1999) concerning Corsican citrons Citrus medica L. and C. limon medica Lush found in the three chemotypes limonene; limonene/c-terpinene and limonene/ c-terpinene/neral/geranial.…”

Antimicrobial properties and chemical composition of four citrus fruit essential oils to control Paenibacillus larvae, the causal agent of American foulbrood disease (AFB) were determined. This honeybee larvae disease occurs throughout the world and is found in many beekeeping areas of Argentina. Citrus fruit essential oils tested were those from grapefruit (Citrus paradisi), sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), mandarin (Citrus nobilis) and lemon (Citrus limon). The components of the essential oils were identified by SPME-GC/MS analysis. The antimicrobial activity of the oils against P. larvae were determined by the broth microdilution method. Two way ANOVA tests for minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) data and minimal bactericide concentrations (MBCs) data, indicated significant differences between the strains and the oils tested. The antimicrobial assays showed that the oil of C. paradisi inhibited the bacterial strains at the lowest concentrations tested, MICs and MBCs averages of 385.0 mg/l and 770.0 mg/l, respectively. This property could be attributed to the kind and percentage of the volatile components of the oil, like limonene (69.9%) and myrcene (9.6%). The use of essential oils or their specific volatile components individually against pests related to food provision may represent an alternative scope for the control of this serious disease because it does not leave toxic chemical residues in honey nor in its by products.

“…Pyrrole (N7) and methyl-pyrroles (N8, N9) can also derive from the pyrolysis of chlorophyll [34,35], although, as noted above, these compounds may also be proteinderived [28,29]. Limonene (LIM), observed in the pyrolysate of green waste compost, is a monocyclic terpene, known to be synthetized by various higher plants [40].…”

“…C. medica contains a considerable amount of β-pinene, γ-terpinene, α-terpinolene and trans-α-bergamotene [13]. Marie et al [14] reported that limonene, γ-terpinene, geranial, neral were observed for peel oils while leaf oils exhibited the limonene, geranial, neral composition. In addition C. medica essential oil contains d-limonene, other terpenes found in the flavedo oil fraction are linalool, geraniol, citronellol, α-terpineol, valencene, mircene, α-pinene, etc.…”

The chemical constituents of leaf and peel essential oil of Citrus medica L. were analysed by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Nineteen components accounting for 99.9% of the oil were identified in leaf oil. The major constituents are erucylamide (28.43%), limonene (18.36%) and citral (12.95%). The peel oil contains forty three components accounting for 99.8% of the total oil and the major components are isolimonene (39.37%), citral (23.12%) and limonene (21.78%).
