The Application of Headspace Solid-phase Microextraction as a Preparation Approach for Gas Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry

Reviewed in brief are the selected results of the application of headspace solid-phase microextraction as a preparative approach for gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC- MS) for natural organic compounds research at the University of Split, Faculty of Chemistry and Technology. A wide variety of headspace compounds from different natural sources has been identified: lower aliphatic compounds (e.g., C5- and C6-compounds), aromatic compounds, monoterpenes (e.g., linalool derivatives (oxides, anhydro-oxides, epoxides, hotrienol, sesquiterpenes e.g., eudesmol isomers, hydrocarbons), and C9- and C13-norisoprenoids (e.g., 3, 4-dihydro-3-oxoedulan, 4-oxoisophorone, trans-β-damascenone. These compounds are important phytochemicals as flavour/fragrance compounds, chemical markers of the botanical origin or others (e.g., allelochemicals, pheromones, or acaricide residue).
