General description

Eucalyptol is a saturated monoterpene. It is a volatile oil with medicinal values naturally found in eucalyptus oil. It is a isoprenoid with 2-isoprene subunits (C10).

Application

Eucalyptol may be used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte in:
  • Melon fruits by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
  • Chrysanthemum flower by pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) followed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
  • Pharmaceutical formulations by full evaporation technique extraction followed by capillary gas chromatography and ion-trap detection.
  • External analgesic pharmaceutical formulations by densitometric HPTLC analysis.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
It has been used as reference standard in densitometric HPTLC analysis for the determination of Eucalyptol from external analgesic pharmaceutical formulations.
