Comprehensive 2D GC with Rapid-Scanning Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry for the Analysis of Tea Tree Essential Oil
The present research is focused on the qualitative elucidation of the chemical profile of fresh tea tree essential oil, and an oxidized, aged (circa 1984) counterpart, by using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC) in combination with a mass spectrometer. The rapid-scanning quadrupole MS system employed generated a sufficient number of spectra/s (20/s) for the reliable identification of the high-speed GCxGC peaks. Fresh TTO is characterized by a relatively low allergic capacity, while the oxidation products, generated from aged (after long storage periods) oils, have been proposed as potential allergens.
