Abstract

The essential oils of peel and leaf of Fortunella japonica Thumb. were isolated by using classical heating and microwave irradiation hydrodistillation. The oil yields of the different parts were also studied. The physical and chemical indices of the oils were identified. The chemical composition was examined by GC/MS analysis. The main components of peel oils and the leaf oils are limonene (92,62%) and elemol (17,72%), B-eudesmol (16,65%), epi-bicyclosesquiphellandrene (16,64%) respectively. The antimicrobial property of these oils was determined.
