Comparison of Leaf Components of Sweet Orange and Sour Orange (Citrus Sp.) %K Citrus species %K Water-distillation %K Flavor components %K leaf oil %R %X Studies had shown that oxygenated compounds were important in food products. It seems that Citrus species had a profound influence on this factor. The goal of the present study was to investigate on flavor components of two Citrus species. In the early week of June 2012, about 500 g of leaves were collected from many parts of the same trees. Leaf components were extracted using water distillation method and then analyzed using GC and GC-MS. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Duncan’s multiple range tests. The amount of oxygenated compounds ranged from 29.14% to 85.64%. Between two species examined, sour orange showed the highest content of oxygenated compounds. As a result of our study, can be concluded that the species used can influence the quantity of oxygenated compounds present in the oil %U https://www.ijabbr.com/article_7950_078bb3ea9788b70877d1c4d67dcfcde3.pdf
