Abstract
Sublimation of solid CO2 selectively removed hydrocarbons from bergamot oil . This result was achieved in a laboratory with very simple equipment. The oil and dry ice were mixed in a cylindrical vessel and the gas stream entra ined most of non-oxygenated terpenes. Their behavior is discussed briefly.
