TL;DR: In this paper, reversed phase liquid chromatography was used to demonstrate that some terpenes can form inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin, and the stability of these complexes was studied for aromatic, aliphatic, or acyclic terpene derivatives with various mobile phases.
Abstract: Terpene compounds include a wide variety of molecules with very different structures and physico-chemical properties. Monoterpenes are of interest because of their volatility and aromatic properties. Inclusion complexation of these molecules with cyclodextrins will lead to chemical and volatility protection and to a possible controlled release. In this study, reversed phase liquid chromatography was used to demonstrate that some terpenes can form inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin. The stability of these complexes was studied for aromatic, aliphatic, or acyclic terpenes with various mobile phases. It is confirmed that mobile phase composition plays a major role in the complex stability. Moreover, in terms of separation, it was observed that mobile phase characteristics could modify inclusion selectivity, with retention inversions for some terpene derivatives when β-cyclodextrin was added to the mobile phase. It was also demonstrated that “rough” molecular modelling can qualitatively predict stoichiom...

TL;DR: In this article, the terpene hydrocarbon fraction of the essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the fruit of Schinus molle L. was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography.
Abstract: SUMMARY
Analysis by gas-liquid chromatography of the terpene hydrocarbon fraction of the essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the fruit of Schinus molle L. revealed 11 components. Capillary columns and flame ionization detection increased resolution and permitted tentative identification of 6 additional terpene hydrocarbons not hitherto reported in the oil. The compounds found were: α-pinene, β-pinene, -α-phellandrene, β-phellandrene, myrcene, D-limonene, camphene, p-cymene, and three unidentified constituents. These components were tentatively identified by calculating relative corrected retention volumes and comparing these with values for known terpene hydrocarbons. The three stationary liquid phases used yielded data that lend credence to the tentative assignment of peak identities.
