化学的特性
Lemon oil is obtained by pressing the peel of the fruits of Citrus limon (L.)
Burm. (Rutaceae). It is a pale yellow or pale greenish-yellow to dark green
liquid with a characteristic lemon peel odor.
The composition of lemon oils depends on the variety of lemon and the
country of origin.
The characteristic odor of lemon oil differs from that of other citrus oils
and is largely due to neral and geranial.
Annual worldwide production is about 7000 t, of which ～60% originate
from Argentina and ～10% each from Spain, the United States, and Italy.
Smaller quantities are also produced in Turkey, Mexico, South Africa, and Brazil.
Lemon oil is used in many food flavors. Because of its fresh odor, relatively
large quantities are also employed in eau de cologne and other perfumery
products. Due to a content of furocumarins, the quantity of cold-pressed
lemon oil to be used in perfumery products is restricted.
