Research on the Chemical Composition of Lemon Seed’s Oil

The lemon seed’s oil was extracted with acetone and its Chemical composition was analyzed with GC-MS instrument. The composition of the relative quality score was determined with the area normalization method. More than 100 compounds were detected, of which 20 compounds had distinct peak, including: (Z,Z) 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (32.525%), Tridecylic acid (21.639%), Oleic acid, 3-hydroxypropyl ester (6.37%), Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, pentadecyl–ester (4.894%), Octadecanoic-acid (3.749%). In lemon seed oil the fatty acids were the main component, including acids, esters and olefins etc.
