nerol esters. The petitgrain oil (reference sample France) contains terpenic alcohols (linalool 12 to 24%, terpineol 2 to 5%, nerol <1%
and geraniol 1 to 2%), terpenic ester (linalyl acetate 51 to 71%, neryl acetate 1 to 2%, geranyl acetate 1 to 3%) and terpenic hydrocarbons
(myrcene <1.5%, β-ocimene 0.2 to 2.2%, β-pinene 0.3 to 2.7% and limonene 0.4 to 8%) (CoE, 2000).
