Notes:
A method for estimating the total monoterpene hydrocarbon content of citrus oils is described. The procedure consists of adding an internal standard (n-butylbenzene) to the oils, spotting the mixture on a chromatostrip, eluting the hydrocarbons, and analyzing the eluate by gas chromatography. The total monoterpene hydrocarbon content is calculated from the weights of n-butyl-benzene and citrus oil used and from the areas under the peaks of the monoterpene hydrocarbons and n-butylbenzene on the chromatogram. The average percent total monoterpene hydrocarbon content and the standard deviation are given for a selected number of citrus oils. Data also show the relative monoterpene hydrocarbon composition of these oils.
