Investigation of the effect of commercial fertilizers on the chemical profiles of the leaf volatile constituents of Citrus limon and Citrus sinensis
Summary:
In the framework of the present thesis, the effect of two commercial fertilizers, and more
specifically AGR127 and AGR128 (based on silicates and chitosan), on the chemical profile of the volatile compounds of two Citrus species (orange and lemon) was investigated. In this study, the commercially important varieties Merlin (Washington navel) and Adamopoulou were selected for orange and lemon, respectively. More specifically, the present study focused on the identification and qualitative and quantitative comparison of the leaf compounds of the two species, before and after the application of the two fertilizers. The plant material was extracted using three solvents of different polarity (cyclohexane, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate). The analysis of the volatile compounds was accomplished using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Both species were characterized by the presence of the
monoterpenes α-pinene, sabinene, β-pinene, myrcene and limonene, albeit with different
contribution.
