Preparation of samples of plant material for chromatographic analysis.
The selection, collection, and preliminary treatment of plant material samples are discussed. Stages of sample preparation and extraction techniques presently used are described, and the most recent examples of sample preparation for chromatographic analysis are reviewed. Recent applications of gas chromatography for the assessment of emission of volatile organic compounds by plants are also described.
