Since most of the components which contribute to the characteristic aroma of lime fruit originate in the peel (8), the differences in the yield and major composition of peel oil were compared between ethylene, acetylene treated fruits and mature (dark green) and ripe (full yellow) fruits.
Though the ethylene, acetylene treated and dark green and full yellow lime fruits almost had similar oil yields (0.5-0.6%), the composition of degreened fruit peel oil was found to be different from that of normal dark green and full yellow stages.
The most abundant component of lime peel oil is Iimonene and its percentage was found to be 37.5% in ethylene treated yellow fruits and 35.3% and 46.1% in dark green and yellow fruits, respectively.
