Abstract
The direct enantiomeric separation of limonene and linalool in various essential oils is carried out by multidimensional gas chromatography (GC). Both α- and β-cyclodextrin derivative phases are used for chiral separation after preparation on an SE-54 precolumn. The use of multidimensional GC to perform this separation has several advantages: it eliminates interferences from sample matrices; it avoids contamination of the chiral column by high-boiling-point components; and it provides a simple, rapid, and effective method for stereoanalysis of components from various essential oils.Keywords
