Saturated and monounsaturated long chain hydrocarbons were determined in four citrus fruit species‐orange, grapefruit, mandarin and lemon. All species manifested their own intrinsic profiles. In the saturated fraction, iso and anteiso hydrocarbons comprised between 45 and 58% of the total hydrocarbons, while in the monounsaturated fraction the range was 2 to 22%. As a general rule, odd‐numbered, iso hydrocarbons were always found at percentages higher than their anteiso homologs.
