The composition of laboratory extracted lemon oil from three new lemon hybrids is reported. The volatile fraction was analysed by HRGC–FID; the enantiomeric distribution of β‐pinene, sabinene, limonene, linalol, terpinen‐4‐ol and α‐terpineol was studied by multidimensional HRGC–HRGC; coumarins and psoralens present in the non‐volatile residue were analysed by normal phase HPLC. The results were compared with those obtained for Italian industrial lemon oils. The three oils differ from each other in the qualitative and quantitative composition, and also show very significant differences compared to industrial lemon oil. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
