اِستُخلصت الزيوت العطرية بطريقة الجرف ببخار الماء من قشور ثمار ستة أنواع من الحمضيات هي الليمون الحامض و البرتقال و الكريفون و البوملي و اليوسفي و النارنج.
دلَّت النتائج على أن الزيت العطري المستخلص من قشور الليمون الحامض أكثـر فعاليـة كمـضاد
للبكتريا من بقية الزيوت الأخرى، كما وجد أيضاً أن البكتريا موجبة غرام هي عموماً الأكثر حساسية لهذه
الزيوت العطرية مقارنة بالبكتريا سالبة غرام، في حين وجد أن النـوع aeruginosa. P هـو الأكثـر
حساسية عموماً بين البكتريا سالبة غرام.
Essential oils from peels of 6 citrus species were extracted. The species were
lemon (Citrus limon), orange (C. sinensis), grapefruit (C. paradisi), pomelo
(C. maxima), mandarin (C. reticulata) and bitter lemon (C. aurantium) using
hydro-distillation (Clevenger type).
In general Gram-positive bacteria were more sensitive to the oil
extracts tested than Gram-negative bacteria, and P. aeruginosa was the most
sensitive within the Gram-negative group.
