Abstract
The potential of enantioselective capillary gas chromatography with mo dified cyclodextrins as chiral stationary phases for authenticity cont rol is demonstrated for a selection of economically important essentia l oils. Adulteration can be easily detected in cases where enantiomeri cally pure constituents are present in natural oils. In cases of (natu rally) varying enantiomeric compositions of chiral constituents, enant ioselective gas chromatography may prove insufficient.
