Abstract

A HPLC method for the determination of eugenol, methyleugenol and methylisoeugenol in the volatile oil of differently processed natmeg has been used. The result has shown that the content of eugenol is only sliahtly changed before and after processing, but that of methyleugenol and methylisoeugenol has obviously increased.
