pubmed-article:11453743 | pubmed:abstractText | A low-resolution gas-phase FT-IR method for the fast analysis of supercritical CO2-extracted caraway fruit oils has been developed. The limonene/carvone ratio of extraction product was determined within seconds, yielding a coefficient of variation of <5% (n = 10). A selection of experimental parameters is discussed on the basis of the analysis of 52 extracted samples. GC-FID was used as a reference method. A correlation of 0.983 (n = 24) between the two methods was observed. This method is suitable for the analysis of a large number of caraway fruit extracts due to its speed, repeatability, and minimum sample preparation. | lld:pubmed |
