<title>CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF THE FRUIT PEEL FROM WHITE FLESH CITRUS GRANDIS (L.) OSBECK </title>
<abstract> lessThan i greaterThan Citrus grandis  lessThan /i greaterThan commonly known as pomelo, shaddock or limau bali belongs to the family Rutaceae. The aim of this study is to identify the phytochemical components present in white flesh  lessThan i greaterThan C. grandis  lessThan /i greaterThan fruit peels using solvent extraction and hydro distillation methods. Identification of phytochemical compounds was conducted using the GC-MS analysis and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques. Hexadecanoic acid and 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z) are 2 major compounds elucidated from hexane and ethyl acetate fractions, respectively; while limonene was identified as a major compound in essential oil. White powder obtained during methanol extraction was confirmed as naringin using NMR spectroscopic technique.</abstract>
