Lemon belongs to the Citrus genus in the family Rutaceae and lemon is classified as Citrus limon (L.) Burm. Also lemon is a popular fruit because of its high biochemical compounds and characteristic volatile organic compounds. Fruit aroma and flavor characteristics are determined by volatiles, which also offer useful information about lemon as an ingredient for the food and beverage industries. In addition, lemon is an industrial fruit used as a raw material in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other industrial sectors. This is the reason why lemon is an important crop that grows in different parts of the world. The distribution and main production areas of lemons are limited between semi-arid and arid subtropical regions with the lowest temperatures above -4°C. The main lemon producer countries are India, Mexico, China, Brazil, Turkey and Spain. The aim of this study is to create a data pool by comparing the amounts of aroma compounds found in parts of lemon such as the fruit and the peel, which have high commercial value in the research done so far, by making use of the literature data on the basis of species, and by making evaluations. As a result, this review, which was created on the flavor components of lemon products, will be a source of literature for detailed studies in the future.
