Abstract
A study of recovery efficiency of a series of volatile compounds trapp ed on reverse-phase C-18-bonded silica has shown that reverse-phase si lica is a useful addition to the existing range of adsorbents availabl e for headspace volatile concentration and analysis. A gas chromatogra ph comparison of the airborne volatiles from black pepper (Piper nigru m) and banana pseudostem (Musa sp) recovered from reverse-phase silica , activated charcoal and Porapak Q traps shows no qualitative differen ces in the components present.
