Abstract

An authentic oil of lavender of French origin contains 0,1% β‐myrcene, traces of Δ3‐carene, 0,02% dipentene and 3% α‐ocimene, and perhaps traces of α‐pinene (not more than 0,06%).

Gas–liquid Chromatography of Terpenes: Part Iv. The Analysis of the Volatile Oil of the Leaves of Eastern White Cedar

“…Thus, it is not surprising that the analysis of such oils by gas-liquicl chro~natograpl~y (GLC) has not advancecl as rapidly 'LS, for exa~nple, that of fatty acid or hydrocarbon mixtures. The clirect ,uialysis of a number of essential oils has been attempted (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) and several of the cliffic~~lties el~countered have been discussed (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). To overcome such difficulties, various prefractionation techniques have been applied.…”

“…To overcome such difficulties, various prefractionation techniques have been applied. Naves et al (5,12) have co~nbi~led fractio~lal clistillation, GLC, a~~c l i~lfrarecl spectroscopy, and the problems relating to co~n~nercial practices have been e~nine~ltly discussed (13,14). Fractional distillatio~l was also usecl by Cvrkal and JanAk (15).…”
