Summary
Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) has been successfully applied to the determination of perfume components in scented candle wax, liquid laundry detergent, and fabric softener. Different fiber coatings (100 μm polydimethylsiloxane, 50/30 μm divinylbenzene/Carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane, 70 μm Carbowax/divinylbenzene, and 85 μm polyacrylate) were tested and the extraction conditions were optimized. For most compounds extraction efficiency, reproducibility, and long-term stability were highest for polydimethylsiloxane.
The compatibility of SPME with fast gas chromatographic separation was investigated. The speed of conventional gas chromatography was increased by a factor of 2.5, without loss of separation efficiency, simply by reducing the column length and inner diameter and adjusting the separation conditions by use of method translation software. It was demonstrated that SPME is a suitable sample-introduction technique for fast GC if split injection is used.
