Saturated and monounsaturated long chain hydrocarbons were determined in Duncan grapefruit, Dancy mandarin and their three hybrids: Seminole, Orlando and Minneola. The four most prominent hydrocarbons in the saturated group were n ‐C 23 and C 25 , and iso C 23 and C 25 . In the monounsaturated group Duncan, Dancy and Seminole showed C 29 as dominant, while C 25 predominated in Orlando and Minneola. Seminole, Orlando and Minneola accumulated a noticeably higher percentage of branched chain monoenes than either of their parents. The saturated and monounsaturated hydrocarbon profiles of Orlando and Minneola were completely different from their parents.
