Qualitative Analysis of Flavor and Fragrance Volatiles by Glass Capillary Gas Chromatography. By Walter Jennings and Takayuki Shibamoto, Academic Press, New York. 1980. vii +472 pp. Price: $39.00. This book consists of a 26-page review of analytical considerations and four Tables. The review is concise and instructive. It covers most aspects: GC systems, retention indices, selective detectors, ancillary reactions, reaction gas chromatography, GC-MS, and even a little on HPLC-GC. There are 102 references. The first Table lists the compounds alphabetically and gives their retention indices on WCOT columns, one (0.28 mm x 50 m) coated with methyl silicone OV-101, admixed with 1% Carbowax 20M to reduce tailing, the other (0-2mm x 80m) coated with Carbowax 20M. Two further Tables list the same data, but in increasing order of retention indices, first on OV-101, then on 20M. The last Table comprises the normalised mass spectra determined with an Hitachi RMU-6M and a Datalizer 002B, the more prominent lines being marked with their role values. Name, formula, molecular formula and weight, and retention indices are also given. The retention indices of 1262 compounds are included, with mass spectra of 701. All those interested in the identification of flavorants and perfumes will wish to possess a copy of this book, reference to which will undoubtedly prove valuable from time to time, but it covers less than half the known flavorants and the data need to be cast in computerised form to yield their full benefits.
