Product Constituents - Lime

Citrus Aurantifolia Swingle

Recent research has shown that the constituents vary between distilled oil and expressed oil, as we now indicate in the table below, showing main constituents only:

         
  Lime Oil Distilled      
         
  Principal constituents by % Extraction method  
         
    Expressed Distilled  
  alpha-pinene 3.1 1.6  
  beta-pinene 21.3 4.8  
  sabinene 4.1 -  
  1,8-cineol 0.4 3.1  
  gamma-terpinene 14.6 11.9  
  para-cymene 1.3 7.8  
  terpinolene 0.6 7.5  
  fenchyl alcohol - 1  
  alpha-terpineol 0.3 9.2  
  geraniol 4.7 0.3  
         

As you can see, the presence of sabinene and absence of fenchyl alcohol are good indicators to highlight expressed lime oil.
