Abstract:
Objective: To establish a method for the determination of eucalyptol, camphor and menthol in compound menthol camphor eucalyptus oil solution by GC.Methods: An HP-INNOWAX 19091N-216 capillary column(60 m× 0.32 mm , 0.50 μm)was used.The carrier gas was nitrogen with the flow rate of 30 ml·min-1 , the gas was hydrogen with the flow rate of 40 ml·min-1 and the oxidant gas was air with the flow rate of 400 ml· min-1.The detector was FID and the inlet temperature was 250℃.The temperature program was as follows: the initial column temperature was 50℃, and then risen to 160℃ with a rate of 10℃·min-1 and kept for 5 min, and finally risen to 220℃ with a rate of 20℃·min-1 and kept for 3 min.The split ratio was 15∶1 and the injection volume was 1 μl.Results: The linear range of eucalyptol, camphor and menthol was 0.031 9-2.550 0 mg·ml-1 (r=1.000 0), 0.041 3-3.305 0 mg·ml-1 (r=1.000 0) and 0.053 7-4.294 0 mg·ml-1 (r=1.000 0), respectively.The average recovery was 98.24% (RSD=0.3% , n =9), 98.97% (RSD=0.4% , n =9) and 98.98% (RSD=0.5% , n =9), respectively.Conclusion: The method is sensitive and accurate with good stability, which can be used to determine the contents of eucalyptol, camphor and menthol in compound menthol camphor eucalyptus oil solution.
