In the present investigation, the purpose of the present research was to extract its essential oil from the peel of lemon (Citrus limon), said fruit comes from the Piura-Peru region, using the hydrodistillation method, to then estimate its yield and identify its chemical composition using gas chromatograph (GC) together with mass spectroscopy (MS), as well as evaluating its antioxidant activity in vitro by means of radicals such as DPPH, ABTS, and iron reducing power assay (FRAP). The essential oil was extracted from the lemon peel by hydrodistillation, the average yield of the process was 0,516% volume (mL) in relation to the weight of the processed peel. At least 13 compounds were separated and identified by gas chromatography, the main component being limonene. (52,7%), followed by 4(10)-thujene (22,3%), transcitral (5,5%), verbenol (4,5%), 3- carene (3,1%), other minor compounds such as - terpineol (2,9%), 4-terpineol (2,4%), - pinene (1,8%), -fellandrene (1,8%), linalool (1,1%), -pinene (0,9%), cis-citral (0,6%) and 4- carene 80,3%) are reported. The antioxidant activity was determined and expressed in mmol equivalents of trolox/mL of essential oil, being 1,160 ± 0,165; 3,370 ± 0,204 and 0,159 ± 0,003 for DPPH, ABTS and FRAP respectively.
