Resumo
This study determined the chemical compositions of macro- and micronutrients
in the fruit peels of Citrus medica collected in Pirenópolis, Jandaia and Santo
Antonio do Descoberto, Goiás, Brazil, as well as the composition and variability
of the essential oils and the chemical composition of the soil. High levels of iron,
calcium and magnesium were found in the peels from the three sites. Twenty-
four components were identified in the essential oil, and limonene was the most
abundant (> 85%). No chemical variability was detected in the three oil samples
analyzed. The soil analysis revealed high levels of manganese (55-146 mg/dm 3 )
and zinc (9.6-19.8 mg/dm 3 ) as well as moderate levels of potassium (87-179
mg/dm 3 ), calcium (3.4-6.2 cmolc/dm 3 ) and magnesium (1.1-1.5 cmolc/dm 3 )
at all three collection sites. No significant statistical correlations were verified
between the chemical, organic and environmental variables.
