What is Calamansi Peel Oil: GC-MS and Antimicrobial Study about?

This research paper investigates the chemical composition and antimicrobial properties of essential oil extracted from calamansi (Citrus macrocarpa) peels, which are often discarded as waste. Using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), 109 compounds were identified, with D-limonene being the predominant component at 65.59%. The essential oil demonstrated significant antibacterial and antifungal activity, suggesting its potential use as a natural antimicrobial agent in various industries.
