Saturated and monounsaturated long chain hydrocarbons were determined in Duncan grapefruit, Dancy mandarin and their three hybrids: Seminole, Orlando and Minneola. The four most prominent hydrocarbons in the saturated group weren‐C23 and C25, and iso C23 and C25. In the monounsaturated group Duncan, Dancy and Seminole showed C29 as dominant, while C25 predominated in Orlando and Minneola. Seminole, Orlando and Minneola accumulated a noticeably higher percentage of branched chain monoenes than either of their parents. The saturated and monounsaturated hydrocarbon profiles of Orlando and Minneola were completely different from their parents.
