“Gold” Pressed Essential Oil: An Essay on the Volatile Fragment from Citrus Juice Industry By-Products Chemistry and Bioactivity

Table 1

The four Citrus fruits samples taxon attribution, definition, and recovery yield (CPEO = Cold Pressed Essential Oil; F1 = fragment 1 (first 15 min); F2 = fragment 2 (consequent 2 h and 45 min). Volume of the respective CPEO. In the case of CPEO, the industrial figure corresponds to % W/W of produced juice [6]).
