bitter orange, sour orange, bigarade, seville orange, **Pomeranze**, Bitterorange

Bitter orange peel oils exhibited a very high content of limonene (87.6-95.1%). The minor components β-pinene (tr-2.4%), myrcene (1.3-1.8%), linalool (tr-1.5%), linalyl acetate (0-3.9%), α-pinene (0-0.6%) were found in almost all samples. \\

"... dividing the concentration (ppm) by the threshold (ppm) for bitter orange [peel oil], it can be seen that the most important odour characters in the oil are octanal, decanal, linalool, nonanal and linalyl acetate... the odour characters of petitgrain and neroli are obviously linalool and linalyl acetate; however, the odour character of lesser importance in these oils are nonanal, α-terpineol, geranial, and nerol for petigrain oils and methyl N-methylanthranilate, indole, geranial, (E)-nerolidol, methyl anthranilate and α-terpineol in neroli oil." \\

Flavour components of C.aurantium essential oil (EO) were characterized by GC-MS and GC-O. Potent odour contributors were α-pinene (floral), octanal (green), limonene (citrus), linalool (floral), α-terpineol (indeterminate: ‘ND’, green), linalyl acetate (floral), (E,E) or (E,Z)-2,4-decadienal (frying), dodecanal (ND), caryophyllene (green) and an unknown compound (IT = 1678, plastic note). "Interestingly, the EO odour was also characterized by five volatile compounds (FD: 6/9 to 7/9) responsible for fresh, plastic notes in trace amounts not allowing identification. These compounds with a high IT (IT >1630) were smelled but not detected in GC conditions." \\

**Neroli** oil is the essential oil steam distilled from the flowers of C. x aurantium. \\
The distillaton water is //Orange Flower Water// as by-product. Orange Flower Water is extracted with solvent to leave a dark orange-brown product known as //Orange Flower Water Absolute//. Two other materials are //Orange Flower Concrete// (extracted from the flowers with solvent) and further //Orange Blossom Absolute// (concrete extracted with ethanol).

"Main volatile constituents are linalool, nerolidol and farnesol. Etymology: It. neroli, from the French-born Anna Maria de la Trémoille (1670-1722), princess of Nerola, a village near Rome. She loved the fragrance of the orange flowers, and was the first person to have them distilled. The tertiary sesquiterpene alcohol 3,7,11-trimethyl-1,6,10-dodecatriene-3-ol was first identified in neroli oil, hence the name [[http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1053991.html|nerolidol]]. Somewhat later, the isomeric alcohol 3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6,10-dodecatriene-1-ol was also identified. It was correspondingly named [[http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1290201.html|farnesol]], from Villa Farnese, another village near Rome. " [[http://www.bojensen.net/EssentialOilsEng/EssentialOils21/EssentialOils21.htm]]

"As most synthetic linalool contains dihydrolinalool (0.5-2.0%), this impurity can be used to determine adulteration of neroli oil with synthetic linalool. Frey (1988) showed that using the selective ion monitoring mode in GC/MS he could detect down to 50 ppm of dihydrolinalool in neroli oil, which corresponds to the addition of 0.5-1.0% synthetic linalool in the oil... Konig et al. (1992) proved through chiral GC analysis that the (R)-(-)-linalool enantiomer was predominant in neroli oil. They also found that (S)-(+)-(E)-nerolidol 
was the main (>98%) enantiomer found in this same oil" \\

"The major compounds within the hydrolate [of Citrus aurantium L. (Rutaceae) flowers (neroli) grown in Iran] obtained in the laboratory were geraniol (26.6%), α-terpineol (20.7%), linalool (15.4%) and benzene acetaldehyde (5.5%). Linalool (44.1%), methyl anthranilate (11.8%) and cis-linalool oxide (6.1%) were found in high percentages in the Hydrolate from the obtained traditional sample. 1,8-Cineol (15.9%), linalool (13.8%) and α-terpineol (6.6%) were more than other constituents in the  industrially obtained hydrolate." \\

"The combination of these two sesquiterpene alcohols [(+)-(E)-nerolidol 3% and (E,E)-farnesol 1%], a considerable amount of [[http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1004392.html|methyl N-methylanthranilate]] (0.1%), which resembles the odor of concord grapes, and 1H-indole (0.1%), which, on high dilution posesses a distinct exotic jasmine note, differentiate neroli from petitgrain oil. Other nitrogen-containing compounds such as 2-phenylacetonitrile (0.1%) and (2-nitroethyl)-benzene (0.15%) have been identified by Maurer. With its low treshold of 2 ng/l water (0.002ppb), 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine (1 ppm) is also important and imparts neroli with an interesting green note." \\

Neroli oil showed a remarkable antibacterial activity especially against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and a very strong antifungal activity, comparable to nystatin (which was used as standard). Main components of the oil were limonene (27.5%), (E)-nerolidol (17.5%), α-terpineol (14%), α-terpinyl acetate (11.7%) and (E,E)-farnesol (8%). Methyl anthranilate was found at 1.2%. \\

**Petitgrain** Essential Oil is made by steam distillation of the leaves and sometimes the twigs of the bitter orange tree. \\
"Bitter orange petitgrain oil showed a high content of oxygenated compounds which varied from 91% to 96%. Linalyl acetate, which represented more than 50% of the whole oil, and linalool, which ranged from 22% to 33%, were the main components. Limonene, (E)-β-ocimene, myrcene and β-pinene were the highest monoterpene hydrocarbons. Twelve sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were identified. β-Caryophyllene is the most representative of this fraction." \\

Enantiomerically pure or nearly pure (R)(-)-linalyl acetate was detected in petitgrain oil of Citrus aurantium L. using a chiral capillary column. \\

"In addition to linalool, the other important alcohols are geraniol (2.5%), nerol (0.4%), α-terpineol (5.6%), (+)-(R,E)-nerolidol (0.05%) and the intensely woody smelling (+)-spathulenol and (+)-isospathulenol (0.03%)... Although more than 100 carbonyl compounds found in petitgrain oils account for only 0.37%, their importance is unquestioned, among them high-impact compounds as β-ionone (5 ppm) and β-damascenone (2 ppm) that occur in concentrations way above their odor tresholds (0.009 and 0.007 ppb, resp.)...\\
Another important constituent is [[http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1107761.html|2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine]] with its typical galbanum-like, green note that can be found together with ten other substituted pyrazines. The concentration of [it] in petitgrain oil is 1 ppm, which exceeds its odor treshold by a million times." \\
