Abstract

The identification of sesquiterpenes by gas-liquid chromatography is evaluated. Retention indices (obtained using sesquiterpene standards rather than n-alkanes) were found to be the most reproducible form of GLC data. Retention data for fifty-five sesquiterpenes and a number of saturated hydrocarbons obtained by hydrogenation of sesquiterpenes are reported.
