Abstract
A capillary long neck glass sample holder is proposed for the determination of boiling temperatures of essential oils containing a majority component. Essential oils from Aniba dukei K. and Pimenta dioica L. containing linalool and eugenol, respectively, as major constituents were used after optimization of parameters such as scan rate, sample mass and starting temperature. Best performance in the determination of boiling temperatures was obtained with the proposed sample holder in comparison with commercial aluminum pans. Good agreement was obtained for the boiling temperature and enthalpy for the essential oil samples with the linalool and eugenol standards.
