  A metabolic study of calabrian bergamot essential oil using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
  Author(s): R A Salvino, G De Luca and C Aroulanda
  
  Citrus Bergamia, also known as bergamot, it is a fruit belonging to the Rutaceae family which grows almost exclusively in the Calabrian strip coast between Villa San Giovanni and Gioiosa Jonica (Italy). It is mainly cultivated for the bergamot essential oil (BEO) extracted from the fruit peel, a high commercial raw substance which is widely employed in the international perfumery and cosmetics industries but also in pharmaceutical production thanks to its antiseptic and antibacterial properties. All the characteristics of BEO have been largely studied and related to the metabolite composition of the mixture. The characterization of BEO is essential to ensure its effectiveness in the various fields of application and, in particular, for the release of the “Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)” of “Bergamotto di Reggio Calabria – Olio essenziale “.
