Separation of Monoterpenoids by Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

The liquid chromqtographic behavior of mono, terpenoids qn porous polymer (Hitachi gel #3010) was investigated in methanol or n-hexane. Both varibus kinds of column sizes and flow rates of the solvent were examined, and the excellent mutual separation of monoterpenoids was obtained by using column 50 cm x g mm and flow rate 60 ml/hr in methanol.
Based upon the above eondition, alcehols, carbonyl compounds and hydrocarbonds of monoter penoids could be separated satisfactory, in each case.
