Abstract
The hydrodistilled essential oil from aerial parts of Cymbopogon winterianu s Jowitt, cultivated in Southern Brazil, was analysed by CC-MS. Thirty-one components, representing 96% of the oil, were characterized. Enantiomeric r atios of limonene, linalool, citronellal and beta -citronellol were obtaine d by multidimensional gas chromatography, using a developmental model set u p with two GC ovens. The enantiomeric distributions are discussed as indica tors of origin authenticity and quality of this oil. Copyright (C) 2000 Joh n Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
