The composition of the volatile fraction of faustrime essential oil has been determined by GC and GCMS on RTX-5 and RTX-Wax columns.

Abstract
The composition of the volatile fraction of faustrime essential oil has been determined by GC and GCMS on RTX-5 and RTX-Wax columns. The enantiomeric distribution of five volatile components has been determined by direct chiral GC using a DETTBUSILbetaCDX column. The oil was found to contain over 57% hydrocarbons and 41-42% oxygenated compounds. The former class was characterized by limonene, beta-phellandrene and gamma-terpinene, representing together about 44-45% of the whole volatile fraction; among the oxygenated compounds, citronellal was the most abundant with levels up to 22-23%. The enantiomeric distribution of five components (beta-pinene, sabinene, limonene, linalool and alpha-terpineol) yielded combined results that were unlike any other citrus peel oil. The specific enantiomeric ratios did show similarities with components found in other citrus oilsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
