Terpene and Sesquiterpene Hydrocarbons in the Essential Oil from Fresh Celery
Charles W. Wilson
Journal of Food Science
Abstract
SUMMARY: The terpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons in celery essential oil that was recovered by two different methods were separated from the oxygen containing materials by column chromatography and analyzed by temperature‐programmed gas chromatography. The essential oils were prepared from celery puree by a batch distillation procedure, and by vaporization in a Votator Turba‐Film evaporator and rectification of the vapors in a packed distillation column. The terpenes α‐pinene, β‐pinene, myrcene, limonene, γ‐terpinene and cymene; and the sesquiterpenes β‐elemene, β‐caryophyllene, α‐ and β‐humulene and β‐selinene were identified as constituents of the essential oils. The qualitative and quantitative relationships of the hydrocarbons between the two different oils were established and discussed.
