Abstract
Thermal desorption coupled to capillary gas chromatography-mass spectr ometry has been used to identify volatile chemicals released from the flowers of five varieties of oilseed rape. An entrainment apparatus fo r volatile headspace analysis is described. The major classes of compo und found were organic sulphides, C4 substituted compounds, aldehydes and terpenes. The possible role of these compounds in the human allerg ic-type response associated with oilseed rape is discussed.
