Chiral Purification of Volatile Flavors and Fragrances by SFC
21 Sept 2014In this application note, linalool and terpinen-4-ol were used to demonstrate the chiral purification capabilities of SFC for volatile flavor and fragrance compounds. First, a recovery study was performed by collecting the enantiomers from (±)-terpinen-4-ol and (±)-linalool standards. These compounds were then enantiomerically purified from lavender and tea tree essential oils. Stacked injections and fast chiral separations reduced the time required for the enantiomeric purification of flavor and fragrance compounds.

GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.

Volatiles, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), can be used to determine shelf-life of food samples. GC-MS is typically used to analyze volatiles.
