Abstract

The essential oils obtained from the fresh leaves, peels and twigs of Fortunella polyandra growing in Shah Alam, Malaysia were hydrodistilled and analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) equipped with flame ionization detector (FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). α-Eudesmol (31.0%), hedycrayol (20.1%) and γ-eudesmol (19.7%) were the major compounds in the leaves oil. The peels oil was characterized by high proportion of limonene (71.4%) and γ-terpinene (15.2%), while α-gurjunene (26.4%), hedycrayol (23.5%) and γ-eudesmol (22.1%) were the main compounds in the twigs oil. The study indicates that essential oil of F. polyandra parts was rich in monoterpene hydrocarbons, sesquiterpenoids and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons.
