✦ Synopsis

Headspace gas analysis with a fused silica capillary PVMS 50 M column was examined for the quantitative determination of some volatile alkanes particularly pentane in edible oils. The relationship between chromatographic peak areas and pentane added in various concentrations was linear between 05 and 10 ppm. Sigdicant correlations between sensory evaluation and concentration of pentane were found.
