Abstract
Citrus limon
(L.) contained 3.5-5.7 % seed oil and oils were extracted and analysed
quantitatively through Gas Chromatography (GC-MS) technique composed of more
than 16 compounds presence available in dryseed oils. Citrus seeds showed
fourteen fatty acids, two steroid derivatives and one acid compounds were found
total seventeen compounds were detected with 29.36 % area covered by linoleic
followed by Hexadecenoic acid i.e. 20.64 % while oleic acids showed 17.51 ±
1.07 %. The composition indicated that more than 80% showed fatty acids and
nearly 15% showed steroids compounds a. Out of these, unsaturated fatty acids
composed of 55.21% while 28.1% saturated fatty acids. It showed almost double
polyunsaturated fatty acids in lemon seed oils. It is acidic in nature because
of 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid with a greater number of fatty acids in nature.
