* Extraction method. I: Maceration of peel with n-hexane at room temperature; II: aspiration of the oil from the utricles present on the peel by means of a syringe with a thin needle; III: the rinds of the fruit were squeezed to cause the breaking of the utricles in order to release the oil, which was collected by extraction with hexane; IV: manual abrasion of the rind by means of a stainless steel grater, followed by manual pressing and centrifugation of the water–oil emulsion; V: hydro-distillation; VI: soxhlet apparatus using pentane and ethanol as solvents; VII: SCF–CO2; VIII: maceration in MeOH; IX: MeOH under reflux; X: maceration and UAE in MeOH; XI: distillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus; XII: steam-based hydro-distillation; XIII: exocarp and mesocarp were pulverized in liquid nitrogen with a chilled mortar and pestle, and then weighed and placed in MeOH. The mixtures were sonicated.
