Abstract

This study presents results on the analysis of the volatile and non-volatile compounds present in the male Kraussaria angulifera. The determination of these chemicals followed a series of operations: Isolation (extraction and separation) of the target chemicals from the samples; Separation and purification of the target chemicals from co-extracted and non-target chemicals (sample clean-up); Sample concentration; Determination of target chemicals by Infra-red spectroscopic analysis and highly selective and sensitive Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Key words: Semiochemicals, Chromatography, Infra-red, GC-MS
