Abstract

A method for the determination of low concentrations of monoterpenols in biological samples has been developed. Using phase separation to extract steam distillates and subsequent spectrophotometric determination with sulphuric acid-vanillin reagent, it is possible to determine as little as 3–4 p.p.b. of total monoterpenols.
