content analysis | accurately take a sample of 5ml, then follow the aldehyde and ketone determination method (OT-7) determination of hydroxylamine/tert-butyl alcohol by HPLC. The mixture was allowed to stand for 15min before titration (with occasional shaking). The equivalence factor (e) in the calculation is taken as 76.12. The aldehyde content in terms of citral was thus determined. |

method of production | produced by the Rutaceae plant lemon the fresh fruits are obtained by cold grinding or cold pressing of fresh lemon peel without heating or adding auxiliaries. The yield was 0.3%-0.6%. Mainly produced in the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Ethiopia, India and Australia and other countries. The highest quality was found in those with higher citral content. China's Sichuan quality is very good, Yunnan, Guangxi also has a small amount of production. The plants originated in the United States, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, ICAM-1 and India and cultivated in Sichuan, Yunnan, China, guangxi and other places of the Rutaceae plant lemon whole fruit or peel as raw material, by cold grinding or cold pressing obtained, to oil rate of 0.3% ~ 0.6%. |
