Abstract
Fifteen essential oils of pharmaceutical grade were fingerprinted by five techniques: TLC, GC, HPLC, attenuated total reflectance FTIR spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Denoising and baseline removal was found to be a crucial step for correct comparative analysis. Standardization of the signal was not necessary in the presented case; however, it should be considered and checked in each case. Due to small variance explained by first two principal components (below 50%) and outlying observations, the main analysis was performed by Euclidean dendrograms. It was found that almost all techniques besides DSC find real chemical similarities; however, DSC can be used as an additional tool. The similarities among the five techniques were also compared and discussed.
