%0 Journal Article %T ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TOTAL VOLATILE COMPONENTS FROM LEAVES OF CITRUS LIMON LINN. %A Kadambari Tomer %A Neeraj K. Sethiya %A Abhilasha Shete %A Vijendra Singh %J Journal of Advanced Pharmaceutical Technology & Research %D 2010 %I Medknow Publications %X The isolation of the essential oil of whole fresh leaves of Citrus lemon by steamdistillation is described. The chemical composition of the oil was investigated by meansof Gas-Liquid Chromatography (GLC), Column Chromatography (CC) and coupled GasChromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The 27 most important volatilecomponents were identified. The volatile components were identified by comparing theirretention times of GC chromatograph with those of literature. Further identification wasdone by GC- MS. The components of the oil, percentage of each constituent, their RIvalues and their Eight Peak Index were also summarized and reviewed with standardavailable literature. %K Volatile %K GC-MS %K Steam-distillation %K Fragmentation %U http://122.168.195.169/Online%20Admission/CourseInstr.aspx?STS=4&MID=58&Title=Isolation%20and%20Characterization%20of%20total%20volatile%20components%20from%20leaves%20of%20Citrus%20limon%20Linn
