Seventeen components were identified in the leaf oil of C. aurantium, accounting for 99.03% of the oil. The leaf oil of C. paradisi contained 45 components thereby accounting for 93.1% of the oil, while that of C. sinensis contained 61 components accounting for 86.86% of the total composition. The major components of the leaf oil of both C. aurantium and C. paradisi were linalool (66.1% and 22.9% respectively) while that of C. sinensis had cis-piperitol (26.4%) as the major component.
