Analysis Note

Sicilian mandarin essential oil, which is derived by cold pressing of the peel of Citrus deliciosa, is used in both food and cosmetic preparations for its desirable fragrance and flavoring properties. This application demonstrates the analysis of this material on the SLB-5ms. The separation illustrates the complexity of this essential oil, which consists of volatile, non-volatile, and chiral components.
