Thermochemical properties of sesquiterpenes in natural products by correlation gas chromatography: Application to bergamotene oil

The vapor pressures and vaporization enthalpies of the three major components of bergamotene oil have been evaluated by correlation gas chromatography. Three major components were identified by GCMS as E β-caryophyllene, trans α-bergamotene and α-humulene. Two of the components, E β-caryophyllene and α-humulene were also evaluated using commercial caryophyllene samples. Z-caryophyllene, present in the commercial sample was also evaluated. Two...
