dc.description.abstract |
Volatile and semi-volatile compounds account for the odors, long valued in the perfumery industry, of the natural product, ambergris. Here we demonstrate application of solid phase micro extraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to headspace analysis of the volatiles and semi-volatiles of jetsam ambergris. The samples collected in 2017/2018, ranged from a black, sticky material from New Zealand, likely recently ejected from a sperm whale, to a white solid found on a beach in Chile and radiocarbon-dated previously to be about 1000 years old. The traces of volatile/semi-volatile compounds extracted included, odorous γ-dihydroionone and odor-free pristane (2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane), as the major constituents. The ratios of these to one another and to many other minor constituents, varied, depending on sample color and age. | |
