The composition of the essential oil of Uruguayan Citrus clementine Hort., prepared in the laboratory from the fruit of Nules and Comune cultivars, has been studied. The volatile fraction was analysed by HRGC and HRGC–MS (quadrupole); 69 components were identified; the enantiomeric distribution of β‐pinene, sabinene, limonene, linalol and α‐terpineol was studied by multidimensional HRGC–HRGC. Polymethoxylated flavones present in the non‐volatile residue were analysed by normal‐phase HPLC. The results were compared with those of Italian clementine oil. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
