✦ Synopsis

Capillary gas chromatography with flame ionization detection was applied to the separation of components of mandarin essential oils. Fifty-nine genuine samples were considered over the period October 1982-January 1983. Essential oils were obtained from unripened green fruits and ripened red fruits, as well as from fruits at intermediate ripening. Thirty-four pure components were systematically identified, but only 13 were used as variables for the further characterization by a chemometric procedure. Principal component analysis was applied to the differentiation of samples with different maturation and obtained with different technologies.
