Abstract

Abstract:

Citrus peel essential oil was obtained by distillation and its composition was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Totally 17 compounds were identified and represented 99.80% of the essential oil, including D-limonene (92.72%), the most predominant compound, terpenoids having the highest relative content (97.90%) and small amounts of aldehyde, alcohol and ketone compounds. The antibacterial activity of the essential oil was determined by measuring inhibition zone diameter, and the results showed that it had stronger inhibitory effect against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus cremoris and Penicillium sp., especially against Escherichia coli. The inhibition zone diameters against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus cremoris were both larger than 15 mm, indicating high sensitivity, and that against Penicillium sp. 14.1 mm, moderate sensitivity. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus cremoris were 1.25% and 2.5%, respectively.

Key words: citrus peel essential oil, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), antibacterial activity
