Summary
A new method of analysis using headspace gas chromatography with microcapillary columns is proposed. Small diameter (50 μm I.D.) fused-silica capillary columns with non-extractable SE-54 and PS-255 polysiloxane stationary phases were used for the analysis of low boiling organic compounds. The small diameter columns possess the usual very high efficiency so that the method can be employed for the headspace analysis of complex mixtures.
The use of short microcolumns reduces the analysis times in comparison to conventional capillary columns. Good performances were obtained in the analysis of volatile compounds in some lemon essential oil, perfumes, and water samples.
