Analysis of fragrance volatiles of fresh flowers by pre-column absorption and GC/MS

The composition of the fragrance volatiles of fresh flowers has been determined using pre-column absorption-capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with the help of a specially constructed desorption device. Two species of fresh flowers, Rosa Setate X Rosa Rugosa and Syringa oblata Lindl. var. alba Rehd, were chosen as examples in this investigation.
