A gas chromatography–olfactometry study of the peel oil and juice of Jinchen sweet orange found 41 components that appeared to contribute to their aroma; ethyl butanoate, β-myrcene, octanal, linalool, α-pinene and decanal were reported as responsible for the aromatic notes of the juice and peel oil, and panelists described ten compounds as aromatic components of the peel oil only.
One sweet orange cultivar, with the peel oil analysed alongside the juice; the abstract does not say which of the six compounds were perceived in the peel oil itself, and it does not name the ten compounds found only in the peel oil.
