dc.description.abstractThe genus Citrus of the Rutaceae family remains one of the benefcial fruit crops that produce high quantities of essential oils that have pharmaceutical, biological, and food preservative applications. Despite the numerous benefts of citrus essential oils (CEOs), there is a major challenge in choosing the most efcient extraction method(s) for large-scale pro duction of quality CEOs to meet industrial, research, and domestic demands. This review provides a general overview of the listed citrus species, the chemical composition of their essential oils, medicinal uses, and the major methods of extraction of citrus essential oils from 10 selected citrus species. A meticulous, in-depth review of the various methods of CEOs extraction has been provided, along with their advantages, limitations, and novel modifcations. This compre hensive literature review expounded on the current extraction methods for citrus essential oils and the various modi fcations developed to reduce the extraction time, excessive energy consumption, CO2 production, and quality, as well as to improve the extraction yield.
