Nine compounds were identified in the
essential oil of C. citratus (Table 1). The majority
components found in the essential oil was geranial
(49.98%) and neral (37.78%). Franz, Knaak and
Fiuza (2011) observed similar quantities of geranial
(47.56%) and neral (31.5%). PEREIRA et al. (2008)
identified and quantified geranial (31.8%) and neral
(40.2%) as majority components of C. citratus
essential oil.
