This study aimed to assess the biochemical profiles of Citrus L. seeds and elucidate the correlation patterns among varieties based on their biochemical compositions. Samples of Citrus L. seeds were subjected to extraction, and the resulting oils were analyzed for their biochemical levels. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was usedto unveil the relationship patterns among Citrus L. The research findings revealed that several citrus seeds, including C. Paradise, C. limon (L.) Burm.f., Citrus reticulate, C. maxima (Burm.) Merr., and Citrus sinensis, exhibited similarities in their compositions of flavonoid compounds, phenolic acids, and carotenoids. However, aromatic volatile compounds displayed variations among varieties without discernible patterns of similarity. The N-serotonin compound exhibited significant variations among varieties; whereas fatty acid compounds demonstrated similarities between Citrus latifolia and C. limon (L.) Burm.f. The eight samples showed no similarity in their biochemical variation patterns.
