Notes:
Summary Needles of the Macedonian Pine,Pinus peuce Griseb., a conifer growing in the Balkan mountains, were extracted by a Likens-Nickerson simultaneous distillation-solvent extraction device. The components of this essential oil were identified by the retention times obtained on two columns differing in polarity and by GC-MS. Because of the complex nature of such plant extracts, a multidimensional GC method for enantiomer analysis, using a non-chiral pre-column and a chiral main column has been developed. The enantiomeric ratios of five monoterpene hydrocarbons were estimated by GC-GC and GC-GC-MS.
