Abstract

GC fingerprints of volatile compounds and derivatives, in herbs and products, are result of high sensitivity of detection, especially using ECD, FID, SCD, and GC–MS techniques. Due to high selectivity, capillary columns are enables in separation of many volatile compounds comparatively in short times, than other columns. Method of sample preparation, selection of analytical column, detector, and temperature programming are the main parameters to focus for results with precision and accuracy, related for quality, stability, and new drug discovery, using GLC.
