Preparative Purification of Aroma Components Using a Supercritical Fluid chromatograph
Many aroma components in foods, beverages, personal care products, and essential oils are volatile compounds with low molecular weights. Many of them are chiral compounds with enantiomers. Generally, enantiomers have different pharmacological effects in pharmaceuticals. Similarly, since enantiomers of aroma components can smell different, their ratio can affect the quality and intensity of fragrances. Thus, enantiomeric separation and preparative purification are required in the development process to understand such differences between enantiomers.
