Five peel oils and six leaf oils of different varieties of citrons ( Citrus medica and C. limonimedica ) were obtained from fruits and leaves collected on trees submitted to the same pedoclimatic and cultural conditions. Their composition was investigated by capillary GC, GC–MS and Carbon‐13 NMR. Three chemotypes: limonene, limonene/γ‐terpinene and limonene/geranial/neral were observed for peel oils while leaf oils exhibited the limonene/geranial/neral composition.
