Abstract
This investigation concerns the application of fast GC in the analysis of essential oils. These are complex matrixes that usually undergo GC separation with conventional methods involving long columns, slow programmed temperature rates, and consequently, a high cost in terms of time. Fast GC techniques are based on the use of narrow bore capillary columns that allow the achievement of high-speed separations on complex samples while maintaining excellent resolution. This work saw the application of two methods on five different citrus essential oils and the comparison of all the results obtained. Keywords: GC analysis; narrow bore columns; citrus essential oilsKeywords
