The objective of this study was to identify the major volatiles and their relative concentrations in intact grapefruit, sweet orange, sour orange, mandarin, lemon, lime and pummelo blossoms. Volatiles from freshly picked blossoms were collected and concentrated using static headspace solid-phase microextraction and then separated and identified using GC-MS. Seventy volatiles were detected, 66 identified, of which 29 were identified for the first time in citrus blossoms.
