Who Will Find This Book Essential?

Chemists working with perfumes and flavors would find this a valuable additional to their book shelf.

This collection of 13C NMR and GC-MS data is aimed at natural products chemists, NMR research groups, university departments of chemistry, pharmacy, botany, and food science, as well as those working in the essential oils, perfumes, flavours and food technology industries.

What's In This Book?

A collection of gas chromatograms and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum covering some 41 essential oils of commercial interest with a smaller section providing data on chemical shifts in the carbon-13 NMR spectra detailing 188 reference compounds.

In addition to capillary gas chromatography and MS, carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy provides an alternative method for essential oils analysis offering excellent visual spacing of the signals enabling oil samples to be analysed without preliminary separation of their components. Also, information relating to the molecular structure of the oil constituents can be ascertained from the measured chemical shifts. Supporting data is presented using capillary gas chromatography.

 

What's New In The 2nd Edition?

This second edition clearly demonstrates the power of the carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy technique in the characterization of essential oils, based on 60 sample oils chosen for their industrial importance together with the 188 carbon-13 NMR spectra of significant components. Adding 18 essential oils and 67 compounds to the 1st Edition.

Key features of the Second Edition:

  • 18 new essential oils are included, five oils are replaced and five oils with less or little importance are deleted
  • Revision of numerous analyses taken over from the 1st edition
  • Capillary gas chromatograms of 60 commercially important essential oils
  • Qualitative and quantitative analytical results of those essential oils
  • Carbon-13 NMR analyses of those essential oils without separation of their components
  • Carbon-13 NMR spectra of 188 most important oil constituents are given (67 are new in the 2nd edition)
