The Impact of Drying Methods on the Phytochemical Profile of Citrus sinensis Essential Oils: A Review

Watti Olusola Ifedolapo

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Science

Abstract

The effect of post-harvest drying techniques on the phytochemical composition of Citrus sinensis essential oils has been extensively studied. This review synthesizes findings from a thesis investigating how different drying durations influence the yield and chemical constituents of the essential oil extracted from Citrus sinensis leaves. The study reveals that drying leads to both qualitative and quantitative changes in the oil's monoterpenoid and sesquiterpenoid content. Major components such as ?-terpinolene, ?-elemene, limonene, citronellal, and citral exhibit notable variations based on the drying period. The findings suggest that drying methods play a crucial role in optimizing essential oil yield and composition, with implications for industrial and therapeutic applications.
