Constituents of the distilled fraction of expressed lemon oil obtained from the fruit peels of Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck accounting for > 0.5% of the composition (based on the analysis of 10 batches) not included in the specification. The content of each constituent is expressed as the area per cent of the corresponding chromatographic peak (% GC area), assuming the sum of chromatographic areas of all detected peaks as 100%
