Abstract
The chemical composition of the Hydrolate of Citrus aurantium L. (Rutaceae) flowers (neroli) grown in Iran, and two commercial hydrolates were analyzed by GC/MS. Thirty compounds (90.3%) were identified in the Hydrolate by the use of laboratory apparatus, thirty-eight compounds (83.4%) in the Hydrolate from the traditional method and fifteen compounds (98.3%) in the industrially produced sample. The major compounds within the Hydrolate obtained in the laboratory were geraniol (26.6%), a-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 a-terpineol (6.6%) were more than other constituents in the industrially obtained hydrolate.
