Selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry in plant volatile compound analysis

Abstract

Four monoterpenes and two monoterpenoids, (+)- and DL-limonene, (1S)-(3) carene, terpinolene, cineol and rose oxide, respectively, were studied using selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry. Specifically, the reactions of H3O+, NO+ and O2+ were used to examine these compounds.
